We all know that being a caregiver for someone with dementia is emotionally draining, physically demanding, stressful, and time consuming. But caregiving also affects our cognition in striking and important ways. It's not just the person living with dementia who changes. We, the caregivers, change too. Let's explore how dementia caregiving wreaks havoc on how we think, feel, and behave. And let's talk about what we can do about it.
This event is open to the general public, including both family caregivers and healthcare professionals.
Please note: In order to fully cover this topic with utmost safety and dignity, this space is best suited without the person with dementia in attendance.
Dasha Kiper is the former consulting clinical director of support groups at CaringKind (formerly the Alzheimer’s Association) and holds an MA in clinical psychology from Columbia University. She works with dementia patients and caregivers and is the author of
Travelers to Unimaginable Lands: Stories of Dementia, the Caregiver, and the Human Brain
.
This collaborative event is provided by the following organizations:
AKARAMA Foundation, Inc.
Renewal Memory Partners
The Village Chicago
Chicago Hyde Park Village
