On November 19, 2025, AgeGuide hosted a special Caregiver Seminar in recognition of National Caregiver Month. The session focused on supporting caregivers of individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). The morning centered on honoring the caregiving journey, providing practical tools, and connecting families to meaningful resources.
Preventing Burnout With TCARE
A key resource shared at the event was TCARE, an evidence-based caregiver support platform designed to reduce caregiver stress and burnout. Caregivers begin with a short assessment that identifies their challenges, goals, and strengths. From there, TCARE provides a personalized care plan, connects them to services such as respite, transportation, meals, and benefits navigation, and supports them over time as their needs change.
Trualta: Free, Accessible Training for Caregivers
Another highlighted resource was Trualta, the free online caregiver learning platform available across our region. Trualta offers video lessons, articles, virtual support groups, live webinars, and specialized content in English and Spanish.
Caregivers consistently report that Trualta helps them feel less alone, more confident, and better equipped to manage stress and caregiving responsibilities.
