Caregiving is an act of love, but it can also be demanding and exhausting. This 12-lesson Caregiving Course will equip you with practical skills such as listening well, communicating clearly, and setting healthy boundaries, while nurturing your faith for the role you are called to play.

For great effectiveness, each online session is set in an interactive small group community-building format.

Join us, learn to navigate emotions, grief, and life’s hardest caregiving moments, and discover how God brings strength and purpose through crisis. Whether you are new or experienced, this course helps you care with confidence, compassion, and Christ-centred hope.

This application-oriented course includes pre-workshop resources and weekly self-study homework.
