Can Do! Reframing Dementia Support and Education to Focus on Strengths and Resilience
Date: Wednesday, April 29
Time: 1-2PM CST
Cost: FREE​​
Living well with dementia is deeply influenced by the mindsets of both people living with dementia and their caregivers. Learning to Live with Dementia is a new support and education program model that combines a structured series of brief lessons with facilitated group sessions designed for people living with dementia and for caregivers to reflect on and share their experiences. This innovative approach promotes a shift in perspective—focusing on what people can do to live well with dementia and providing practical strategies to support that goal. In this webinar, participants will learn about this strengths-based support and education program, hear inspirational stories, and gain new perspectives designed to reframe both the dementia journey and the caregiving experience. Participants will also be introduced to the Learning to Live with Dementia Facilitator Toolkit, a resource developed to strengthen facilitator skills, confidence, and capacity to deliver structured, group-based education and engagement.
