There can be devastating effects on those providing long-term care, from financial pressures and legal quandaries to health problems and emotional turmoil.
A free, two-part workshop designed for caregivers is slated for Saturdays, April 30 and May 7, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at 1862 Parallel Drive.
Lunch will be provided for participants, and arrangements for respite care may be available with advance notice.
This workshop is intended to provide a supportive educational opportunity to help participants increase their understanding of caregiving and to feel less isolated by increasing awareness of resources and widening their support systems.
In this two-part series, individuals who care for persons with dementia and other neurocognitive disorders will be given tools to increase their abilities to understand the challenging dementia-related behaviors, to communicate and remain “connected” with the family members they are caring for, and to understand common causes for resistance to allowing caregivers to provide personal care.
Workshop instructor Alexis Glidewell, LCSW, will help participants explore feelings of denial and guilt and will offer tools for handling frustration that may occur for the 24/7 caregiver.
She will offer suggestions for self-care activities and encourage participants to share their own successful tools for maintaining energy and compassion while providing care for a loved one or special client.
Glidewell, a member of the Geriatric Medicine Clinic in Santa Rosa, is associated with the Redwood Caregivers Resource Center, sharing her expertise in teaching classes and facilitating workshops and support groups.
For more information about the workshop and to register, call 707-263-6222, or email

There is a shortage of poll workers who can provide language assistance in Spanish.
A poll worker is an essential component to every polling place location on Election Day.
Registered voters, U.S. citizens eligible to register to vote in California, and legal permanent residents (green card holders) who are interested in this important work are encouraged to apply at the Lake County Registrar of Voters office 325 N Forbes St, Lakeport or phone 707-263-2372 for information.
The Registrar of Voters Office’s goal is to build a strong capable workforce of polling place officials who are readily available to work on Election Day.
Anyone who is interested in community service and has the time to serve as a poll worker is urged to apply.
The workday is from 6 a.m. to approximately 10 p.m., with breaks for lunch and dinner. Each poll worker is asked to attend a special class of instruction for election officers prior to each election.
Please contact the Lake County Registrar of Voters office today to volunteer to work as a poll worker. Poll workers earn an Election Day stipend as well as a stipend for attending the Election Officers Instruction Class.

Forest officials said Thursday they have closed the road about a quarter mile west of Fouts Springs.
Dixie Glade Campground and the Letts Lake area are not accessible from the eastside of the forest.
Officials ask visitors and residents to avoid traveling in the area until it can be cleared.
Unstable terrain is one of several hazards in a burned landscape.
Post-fire areas are subject to landslides, rockfall, erosion, debris flows and flooding in heavy rain, snow or wind.
There are also likely multiple downed trees across roads and trails.
