Managing Your Stress in April 
April is National Stress Awareness Month. Being a caregiver for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia can be very challenging. Learning how to manage everyday stress is important for maintaining caregiver wellbeing. How do you know if you are coping or if outside help is needed?
 

 

 

Are You a Sandwich Caregiver?
 

Raising children by itself is a challenging but adding to that the hardships of caregiving for a parent with dementia, likely impacts not only daily routines for the caregiver, but also the children involved. The main goal is to ensure every person is safe and provided the care they need and deserve. 
 
 
 
 

LGBTQ Caregiving for Dementia

 

Regardless of whether your loved one with dementia or you, as the caregiver, are from the LGBTQ+ population of older adults, the act of being a caregiver is extremely isolating and stressful. Being within the LGBTQ+ population creates additional factors for consideration. Learn about resources and register for a panel talk in May from LifeSpan.
