Caregiving Relationships for people who care for adults is a curriculum designed to reduce the emotional pressures associated with caregiving. As caregivers struggle to meet the immediate needs of the care-receiver, strong emotional pressures can intensify. Such stressors can contribute to caregiver fatigue, illness, and sometimes, abusive behavior. The goal of the curriculum is to prevent elder abuse and to strengthen relationships between the cregiver and the care-receiver. The curriculum provides caregivers with information to relieve stress before it is necessary to seek help.

Most sessions consist of an introductory activity, "hands-on" learning experience, and discussions. The curriculum features many brochures to enable participants to follow up on concepts presented and follow through with personal committments.
