Most important, the stages--and their related Stumbles and Steadies--provide a map for family caregivers together with their travel companions, health care professionals, to navigate successfully through the caregiving journey.   We'll cover two stages each class. Be sure to read information about how professionals can apply the stages in their work with family caregivers.   Upon completing this course, you'll be ready to take The Caregiving Years Presentation Program into your community.
