  • Caregivers:  Learn to turn your wishes into action!  Lyngblomsten Community Services is offering WOOP for Dementia Caregivers, a three-week online program in which participants learn and practice a simple, evidence-based strategy called WOOP, which stands for Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, and Plan.  WOOP helps caregivers focus on what they can control and turn their important wishes into action plans.  The group will meet Tuesdays, April 14, 21, and 28 from 4–5 PM (registration required by April 8).  Want to learn more about WOOP before joining?  Register to attend a WOOP for Dementia Caregivers Information Session on Tuesday, April 7, from 4–5 PM.  To learn more or register, visit //www.Lyngblomsten.org/WOOP and complete the online form.  If you need assistance with registration or have questions, contact Lisa Brown at (651) 632-5320 or caregiving@lyngblomsten.org.
