Community

Gifted caregivers do something more than give assistance and information—they bring the healing presence of compassion to those who are suffering. You can cultivate this capacity for compassion in your group with two DVD-based programs that inspire, inform, and lead to greater well-being for caregiver and care-receiver alike. These programs have been used to inspire volunteers, congregations and family members in more than 4,000 faith and senior communities, and 2,000 hospital and hospice volunteer programs.
