Calling all current MAH volunteers who would like to expand their  impact in the community. We are offering a training for our volunteers interested in providing social respite care for family caregivers of people with long-term illness, who are recovering from injury or surgery, or people who are living with dementia.

Social Respite Care volunteers provide temporary care for a member which includes spending quality time with them, focusing on them, and being responsible for their well being providing their family caregivers an opportunity to take a break and have some time to themselves.

Presented by Tracy Sprauer, former Executive Director and Programs Manager of Methow At Home and Dr. Elizabeth Weiss, Lookout Coalition provider.
