Do staff or volunteers in your organization provide respite?

Respite, or short-term temporary relief, supports caregivers who are caring for loved ones. Respite allows caregivers to step away from their duties to refresh and recharge.

Respite is often referred to as “giving the gift of time.”

Why should your organization use the REST training?

Hundreds of representatives from religious and healthcare organizations, volunteer organizations, senior living facilities, schools or other groups have taken advantage of this training opportunity.
