Thursday, November 3, 2026   12pm-1:30pm: Caring for the Caregiver: Strategies for Your Own Well-Being

This webinar focuses entirely on self-care and caring for the caregiver. Caregiving is a marathon, not a sprint, and the progressive nature of Alzheimer’s requires caregivers to find sustainable ways to replenish themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally.

This session helps you recognize the early warning signs of stress and provides practical, compassionate strategies to maintain your well-being. We will explore the “partnership” of care, embracing the idea that your health and happiness are the foundation for your loved one’s quality of life. Participants will learn how to build a supportive circle of help, discover community resources, and create gentle self-care routines that fit into daily life. By learning to be kind to yourself and accepting imperfection, you can cultivate the resilience and peace of mind needed for the journey ahead.
