LOGAN – Two free Caregiver Burnout workshops, geared toward full-time and long-term caregivers who serve people with limitations, are available this week at Utah State University.
The first one, Tuesday, March 4, is an in-person workshop beginning at 6 p.m. in Room 209 at the Sorenson Center on campus. A virtual workshop Thursday, March 6 at 6 p.m., is available to those who can’t attend in person.
While assisting in the Sorenson Center’s Dementia Caregiver Clinic, social work graduate student Rebecca Thornley saw how prevalent burnout is for those providing services for loved ones. She said these seminars can be a resource by teaching caregivers coping skills that reduce the impact of the caretaking role.
Dallas Spencer, a clinician at the Sorenson Center, said the goal of the seminar is to increase understanding of caregiver burnout and its symptoms.
