Join us for this free caring-for-the-caregiver event and reception.

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. 1.5 CEU credit hours are available for social workers, nurses, and allied healthcare professionals.

 

A collaborative event provided by the AKARAMA Foundation, Renewal Memory Partners, The Village Chicago, Chicago Hyde Park Village, and the Dementia Friendly Hyde Park initiative
