SUMMARY:Paula De Ronde Caregiver Series: Living in Reverse
DESCRIPTION:Supporting your loved one through the caregiving journey can often resemble the topsy turvy world of the Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Discussion topics will include: \n\nThe topsy turvy world of Alzheimer’s Disease\nCoping with grief\nEmotional supports\nRecognizing that beginning is also ending\n\nIn this second session of the Caregiver Insights series\, Paula takes us through this strange yet wonderful caregiving phenomenon of living in reverse. \nThis workshop is open to caregivers as well as health care providers that support family caregivers in their work.
