Onondaga County's Institute for Caregivers has spring-summer classes aimed at helping family caregivers.

Lisa Alford, Commissioner of Aging and Youth, says one of four households has a family caregiver, and the offerings are aimed at specific issues (like paying for long term care, activities for persons with dementia at home, and tools for caregivers--which includes reference guides to area services), and the classes are also offered in several locations to make them more convenient.

You can call 435-2362 to register, or to get a catalog, which also includes a resource guide.  You can also get the information online
