The Stress-Busting Program for Family Caregivers™ was created by WellMed Charitable Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports older adults and their caregivers with a special emphasis on wellness and prevention. A trained Lifescape Community Services professional will lead this 9-week course designed for the caregiver. Lifescape will provide gifts each week to help with the stress management techniques, a reusable water bottle and snacks. The event meets at RPL's East Branch in the Friends of RPL Community Room, a friendly, welcoming environment that allows for an opportunity to discuss experiences among others navigating similar situations. WellMed further describes its Stress-Busting Program™ as follows:
