Family Caregiver Alliance gives free online classes from time to time.  On February 14, they are giving a class, "Caregiving 101."   It is also a good idea to sign up to receive the online newletters from Family Caregiver Alliance.  While they are centered in San Francisco, they provide a lot of good information and also updates on laws in the process of being made as well as new laws that have passed from states and nationally.  They also provide listings of various types of studies and much more . . . . here is a link; if you scroll down, you will find where to sign up for the Caregiving 101 class if you wish:

    Thanks for the link, Jo!  I found the entire newsletter interesting.  I was especially drawn to the list(s)  of various research studies that invite prospective participants to apply.  I bet some of our forum members could offer valuable information for the studies.  Food for thought.
