South Dakota family caregivers have an online tool to learn skills
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – Family caregivers in South Dakota now have free resources they can use to learn new skills.
Last spring, the South Dakota Department of Human Services teamed up with Trualta to help caregivers throughout the state.
Trualta is an online service that provides people with education and support related to caregiving.
Through the Department of Human Services’ partnership with Trualta, family caregivers can access articles, tip sheets, videos and training designed to meet each caregiver’s learning style.
Director of the Division of Long-Term Services & Support for the South Dakota Department of Human Services Heather Krzmarzick says approximately 80,000 unpaid family members are caring for loved ones with disabilities or chronic illnesses in the state who may be at risk for depression, anxiety, or even burnout.
”It’s designed to help families build skills to manage care at home. So, it can improve confidence, hopefully reduce stress, and prevent burnout by learning some of these care skills to care for people at home,” Krzmarzick said.
People interested in accessing Trualta’s services can go to this link.
