Emotion-Focused Communication Training
Learning the language of emotions in caregiving.
Emotions play a significant role in care. When caregivers can accurately interpret emotions and express them, care is more effective.
This Emotion-Focused Communication Training Course is designed to increase your awareness of your own emotions and help you identify emotions in others. Strategies are then provided for managing those emotions—yours and your care recipients’.
Who should complete this course?
While the course is relevant to any person who is a caregiver, it focuses explicitly on the context of providing care to an individual with dementia.
