COURSE DESCRIPTION

Reclaiming Intimacy’s Maintaining the Caregiver’s Calm focus class is for those people who are caregivers or may be entering into a caregiving situation soon in their lives. Not only for caregivers, this class can be beneficial for the patient, the family, and any other person affected by cancer or any long-term illness where care for another is provided. This class is designed to educate the caregiver, or future caregiver, on how to maintain all of the important aspects of patient care, self-care, and the gentle balance of any caregiving relationship. This class provides an open platform to learn facts, tips and lessons about caregiving while helping the caregiver provide the best quality care possible to their patient. While the focus of caregiving is always on the patient’s needs, wants, and care, the caregiver must also learn to focus on themselves to provide the personal care they themselves need as well.

RECLAIMING INTIMACY’S RESOURCE LIBRARY

In addition to course materials, students have access to Reclaiming Intimacy’s Resource Library. This is a free resource designed help you find answers to your questions while providing tools to help better understand a cancer diagnosis.  Our goal is to help anyone touched by cancer with find critical information, become well-informed, and instill a sense of comfort & control through every phase of treatment. Cancer can be overwhelming so removing the “unknown” is important to mentally preparing for treatment.

By addressing cancer’s effect on the sexual self, we reframe the conversation to focus forward rather than comparing the past. By removing change as a negative, we remove the feelings of shame, isolation, and silent suffering. Reclaiming Intimacy Through Hope Resource Library is a place to learn, grow, gain empowerment by getting the facts. Know what to expect from your cancer & treatment plan so you can develop effective strategies with those accompanying you on the cancer journey.
