Online class begins Wednesday, March 8, 2023

It is clear that changes in thinking, emotions and actions have occurred in a loved one – caused by some form of dementia. It is also clear that you are a dementia caregiver, whether or not there is an official diagnosis. Learn what to expect as dementia’s progression advances and how to be competent and confident in your role no matter how dementia’s symptoms manifest. Family members and professional caregivers will benefit.

The course meets live online, twice per week for two weeks. Each class meets for two hours. Class size is limited to 10 people, for maximum quality experience.
