REST Training for Volunteer Respite Providers

South Central Center on Aging is proud to announce the completion of our first R.E.S.T. (Respite Education & Support Tools) Volunteer Respite Training class this Monday, August 12 in Malvern. Respite is caring the act of caring for an adult or child with a special need in order to give temporary relief to the regular caregiver, and attendees were offered training on how to provide care and relieve caregivers who need a break from this important duty.

We would also like to extent our gratitude to Baptist Health Medical Center in Malvern and Kindred Hospice in Hot Springs for helping sponsor this important training, as well as Stacy Hatfield from the Texarkana Center on Aging for teaching this class.
