My Dad’s Dementia + The Keys to Finding Joy: A Special Presentation for Long-Distance Caregivers

My Dad’s Dementia + The Keys to Finding Joy: A Special Presentation for Long-Distance Caregivers

The Program  will offer guidance for long-distance caregivers to find joy in dementia. Program will delve into the dementia tragedy narrative (and the harm it causes), how dementia affects our loved ones (and what doesn’t change),  provide strategies to help long-distance caregivers be present for, and effectively support their parents, even from afar.

The program is catered for if-----you are an adult, you do not live with your parent with dementia (you live minutes, hours, states, or countries away from them), you want to support your parent’s hands-on caregiver from afar.
