Free Teleclass for Family Caregivers

November is National Family Caregivers Month, and to kick it off, the National Family Caregivers Association (NFCA) is hosting a teleclass designed to help caregivers become better advocates for their loved ones.

The theme of the two-part teleclass is “Communicating Effectively with Healthcare Professionals,” and it will be held on November 6^th and 13^th at 2 p.m. eastern time. The teleclass is aimed at providing caregivers with the communication skills necessary to improve medical results for their loved ones, enhance safety, and save money.

“Family caregivers play a key role in assisting and advocating for their loved one through the healthcare maze. Being able to communicate effectively is critical to ensuring loved ones receive safe and high quality care as for themselves,” said NFCA president Suzanne Mintz.

There are currently more than 50 million family caregivers in the U.S., some of whom are supporting loved ones with cerebral palsy. To register for the free teleclass, visit the NFCA website or call 800-896-3650.
