November is National Family Caregiver Support month. In order to help bring education and awareness around the topic of caregiver or care partner support, the Village Chicago is happy to present this 3 part education series, hosted by the Alzheimer’s Association, which teaches caregivers how to navigate the responsibilities of caring for someone living with dementia.

Supporting Independence focuses on helping the person living with dementia take part in daily activities, providing the right amount of support and balancing safety and independence while managing expectations.

Communicating Effectively teaches how dementia affects communication, including tips for communicating well with family, friends and health care professionals.

Responding to Dementia-Related Behaviors details common behavior changes and how they are a form of communication, non-medical approaches to behaviors and recognizing when additional help is needed.
