TESTIMONIALS
On behalf of the caregivers of Washington state, the Sponsoring agencies, and the Challenges in Caregiving Planning Committee, we want to thank you for your participation in the 2007 Challenges in Caregivning Conference.
Caregivers can't say enough good things about your workshops. Frequently, the cite the "Feeling" workshop as the most valuable part of the day. Consistently, they rank it 5 out of 5. Your compassion and ability to talk about difficult subjects puts caregivers at ease, and helps them realize they aren't alone.
The new caresharing workshop was also very well received. At least one attendee commented the it was "extremely helpful."
Thank you so much for your contribution of time and your professionalism. We know that attendees received valuable insight and information that will help in their caregiving journeys.
