Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia often brings a great deal of uncertainty—about the diagnosis, available treatments, and what to expect as the condition changes over time. Dr. Kim Tarver will explore the quiet but significant strain these unknowns place on care partners and will share practical, grounded strategies for coping. Her guidance will encourage care partners to focus on the aspects of caregiving they can influence, while finding healthy ways to release the worries that are beyond their control.
This FREE community education program is open to all, with registration required for attendance. You may attend either in-person or virtually by Zoom. Please note that this is NOT a Continuing Education (CE) Event.
