Throughout the training, participants will learn to address the realities of the caregiver role, whether to improve their well-being, reduce the emotional and physical burden they face, or out of academic interest.

In addition, global research results on the profile and health of family caregivers will be presented, offering a panoramic and in-depth view of this crucial topic. The evidence and recommendations will consolidate a broad understanding of the importance of caring for caregivers in the context of chronic diseases, providing practical tools to improve their quality of life and support in their role.
