Community Wellness Center 에서는 지난 3월 9일부터 4월 13일까지 총 6회에 걸쳐 Savvy Caregiver Program 을 한인사회복지회 본관 시카고 오피스에서 진행했습니다. 총 12명의 가족 간병인들이 참석하시어, 알츠하이머에 대한 기본적인 정보와 간병인 자신을 위한 자기관리등 간병에 관련된 전박적인 내용을 배웠습니다. 이번 교육에 참석하신 참가자들의 반응이 매우 고무적이었고, 지역사회의 관심에 힘입어 오는 6월 15일부터 북서부 오피스에서 2기 Savvy Caregiver group이 진행될 예정입니다. At KACS's Chicago office, the Community Wellness Department hosted the Savvy Caregiver Program six times from March 9th to April 13th. A total of 12 family caregivers attended the program to learn information about caring for patients with Alzheimer's disease, teaching self-care, and additional information about caregiving for those with cognitive impairment. Because of the positive feedback towards the program from the community and attendants, KACS's suburban office will host another Savvy Caregiver froup beginning on June 15th. 2. KARE Project.
