Free Training on Thursday, February 12, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Eastsound Fire Hall
— from Dennis King, Lahari —
Caregivers are the bedrock of delivering services that foster “aging in community”. Lahari believes
that Orcas residents who require caregiver assistance with daily living deserve well-trained caregivers.
We also believe that many of the island’s existing individual providers of this service would like to
further develop their skills but are challenged by our isolation from appropriate educational facilities and the high cost of participation in this type of training. So to meet this need Lahari announces the first of quarterly events designed to improve the quality and accessibility of caregiving on the island.
Sally Coffin will be teaching the first class, designed for caregivers, on Thursday, February 12th, from 1pm to 5pm at the Eastsound Fire Hall Meeting Room. This four-hour DSHS approved course qualifies for continuing education credits.
The cost of this class would typically be $40 per person, but Lahari is fully funding the class at no cost to participants. If interested, you may sign up for the class by calling Lahari at 1-888-685-1475. For more information visit the Lahari website at LahariOnOrcas.org.
