CARE CONNECTION WEBINAR – APRIL 2025

What comprises a family can look different for many, yet there is a shared understanding that family members rely on each other for emotional, physical, and economic support. Families are one of the primary sources of relationship security and stress. When someone in the family receives a diagnosis of a dementia-related illness, family members are sometimes forced to reunite, pull their resources together, and figure out how to work as a team. 

Even the most functioning of families struggle to navigate the changes in dynamics and relationships when addressing the care needed for their relative. This presentation will explore the challenges families face when providing care and support for their loved one, so that they can identify realistic interventions that help everyone work as a team.
