Week 3: Find Your Caregiving Strengths (March 22nd)
Explore the top attributes and resources that you already possess that enable you to succeed in your caregiving role.
In this session, you will learn about your own character strengths, understand how they impact your caregiving role, and learn how to maximize these strengths to bring about hope and well-being. You will learn about the 24-character strengths in the Values in Action Model and understand how we can overuse or underuse them. You will have the opportunity to take a free survey to discover your own character strengths based on the science of well-being and learn how your strengths can empower you within your caregiving role. You will also learn how to start noticing strengths in others, particularly your care recipient, and how this can impact your relationship.
