The Alzheimer's Association is offering the Savvy Caregiver Program, a free, six-week educational training program for families caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias.

The program will be held from 10 a.m. to noon Tuesdays, Feb. 17 through March 24 at the Ventura County office of the California Central Coast Alzheimer's Association, 1339 Del Norte Road, Camarillo.

Nonprofessional caregivers will acquire skills and knowledge of dementia, handling difficult situations and managing behavior. Attendees will also learn about managing their own wellbeing and resources available in the community to help.

Seating is limited, and registration is required.

For details or to sign up, call Norma Featherston at (805) 485-5597.
