Confidently caring for patients with chronic conditions

О курсе

This course is aimed at individuals interested in strengthening their skills in caring for family members with chronic conditions, whether or not they have a background in the health field. Through five modules, you will explore the caregiver’s role in high-prevalence situations such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiometabolic conditions, mental disorders with cognitive impairment, and problematic use of psychoactive substances. You will develop skills to analyze the caregiving context, identify multidimensional needs, organize the role, make informed decisions, and solve common day-to-day problems. The learning pathway combines learning moments through practical and up-to-date resources such as core documents, videos, infographics, and interactive materials, along with spaces for collective reflection. This course is unique because it integrates person-centered care with caregiver well-being, offering practical tools to provide support with greater safety, empathy, and quality of life.
