Care for the Caretaker

Caregiving for persons with dementia can be both rewarding and depleting-an act of love cushioned in feelings of burnout, despair, and loneliness. This day workshop will focus on exploring support for the caregiver–support that will come both from the caregiver and from the community. Dr. Kaori Sakurai, a gerontologist, Cheryl Kinney, a licensed social worker with expertise in dementia care, and Coke Hennessy, a Mindfulness Teacher will present on various aspects of that support. Lunch is included in the day.
