The RayAsta Foundation, in partnership with Dominica State College and other key partner organizations, is excited to announce the start of the Stroke Caregiver Training program. This comprehensive program aims to empower caregivers and community health aides with essential skills in stroke rehabilitation and techniques, enabling them to provide optimal care to stroke patients. The training begins today, July 17, at 5:00 pm in Classroom BC 10 at the Dominica State College and runs for ten weeks.
Stroke can affect individuals of all ages and greatly impact their independence and quality of life. Recognizing the crucial role of caregivers and community health aides in the recovery process, our Stroke Caregiver Training program will train 25 individuals aged 18-65 in essential rehabilitation techniques. Participants will learn proper positioning, transferring, standing, sitting, and walking techniques to help stroke patients regain their independence and improve their overall well-being.
