Can you support our workshop program for care partners of people living with long-term care needs?
Would you like to learn more about The Poise Project and our supportive work with care partners?

We need some interested volunteers to attend our free public workshops
on Sunday & Monday, April 6 & 7, from 2pm-4:15pm
at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Asheville, 1 Edwin Pl, Asheville, NC 28801

The Poise Project is training three new instructors to teach our “Partnering with Poise: Care for the Care Partner” workshop. We are reaching out to invite you to volunteer to attend a free workshop so that our new instructors can have the opportunity to practice teaching the curriculum. Our three new instructors are from Montana, Vermont, and Eastern North Carolina. After they finish their training week here in Asheville, they will go home and begin teaching these workshops to care partners in their local communities.

You do not need to currently be a care partner yourself to attend!

Monika Gross, who is the training instructor, will be leading the workshop process for everyone.

Partnering with Poise: Caring for the Care Partner”
An evidence-based program developed by The Poise Project
with funding from the Parkinson's Foundation and the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America

Our workshop is adapted from Alexander technique, which is a well-established training in the performing arts to help manage stressful situations, prevent, or recover from strain, pain or injury, and improve someone’s overall functioning in daily life.

Our program has been researched through the University of Idaho.
Our research can be viewed at this link: www.thepoiseproject.org/tpp-research

PLEASE COME JOIN US TO LEARN SOME PRACTICAL SKILLS
THAT WILL HELP YOU
REDUCE STRESS,
PREVENT PHYSICAL STRAIN
AND FEEL REFRESHED AT ANY TIME OF DAY -

PLEASE COME JOIN US FOR A FUN, ENJOYABLE & EDUCATIONAL FREE PUBLIC WORKSHOP!

IF YOU CAN COME FOR BOTH DAYS, THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL!
IF YOU CAN ONLY COME FOR ONE DAY, PLEASE LET US KNOW IN THE REGISTRATION FORM.

Parking is available onsite, and on the street. Enter the building from either the Edwin Place side, or the Bond Street side. We will be in Sandburg Hall on the main floor.

Please wear loose clothing that allows you to move in a relaxed way. This is not an exercise class, and you will only do simple movement which is normal in everyday life.

These workshops are part of a training day for Alexander technique teachers so we will be videotaping the sessions for their review as part of their training. By attending you are giving your permission to be recorded by The Poise Project® for this training purpose.
