Dementia Caregivers' Education and Support   

Caring for a loved one with dementia can feel less overwhelming with preparation, education, and support. Dementia Caregivers' Education and Support classes provide caregivers with tools, tips, and techniques to strengthen caregiving skills and relationships with their loved ones. Participants will gain a better understanding of Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, Parkinson's related dementia, and other forms of dementia while learning how to make informed choices for themselves and their families.

Through a series of related but independent classes, participants will explore what is happening as dementia progresses, strategies for managing challenging behaviors, ways to prevent caregiver burnout, and essential community resources. Classes also address important legal, financial, and medical steps that can help prevent future difficulties. Each class stands alone, but completing the series provides a comprehensive understanding of how to support a loved one safely and effectively. Classes and materials are provided at no cost.
