YCare - Youth Caregiving: Training, Skills & Support
Join us for an exciting event focused on empowering young caregivers! At YCare, we provide training, skills, and support to help young people navigate the challenges of caregiving. Our in-person event will be held at Magnolia Lutheran Church in Seattle, WA. Learn valuable techniques, connect with other youth caregivers, and gain the tools you need.
YCARE is an in-person, day program, meant to educate youth, from 8-18 years old, on caregiving tasks that often come with a diagnosis of ALS. This program brings together a
multidisciplinary team of clinicians to demonstrate how equipment like power wheelchairs,
respiratory machines, speech devices, and adaptive utensils work. As well as training on tasks
like transferring, toileting, and feeding. It also helps to improve young caregivers' social
support, self-efficacy, and quality of life.
Lunch is provided.
