Caring for a loved one can be deeply rewarding—but it can also be challenging, exhausting, and isolating. Whether you provide care in your own home, from a distance, or through frequent visits, you are a caregiver—and you deserve support.
South West Self Management Program, in partnership with the Victorian Order of Nurses (VON), is pleased to present ‘Powerful Tools for Caregivers’. This free workshop series is designed to help caregivers build skills, reduce stress, and improve their own well-being while continuing to provide compassionate care.
