The Alzheimer's Assn. used to offer a "Creating Confident Caregivers", which although focused on ALZ, could apply to any caregiver. It was a 6 week, free course, meeting weekly for a few hours.
It was run by a professional SW, handled very well, offered opportunity to become acquainted with other caregivers, and provided excellent manuals for future reference. It was worth taking a second time.
Sometimes big hospital complexes have an extensive list of courses.
If you Google "Caregiver Books", you will find many good books for caregivers.
Our Local Community College offered a NEW non-credit class called "Powerful Tools for Caregivers" this past Spring that consisted of 6 evening sessions. Maybe if you contact your local community college, they might have a similar class.
