Changing Minds

Helping Elders and Their Families Navigate Brain Change

Care Partner Support Series

The Care Partner Support Series (CPSS) is currently being offered in a virtual format over Zoom. This 5-part series is both educational and supportive and was designed by world renowned dementia educator Teepa Snow and the Positive Approach to Care Team. During each session, we will learn about brain change and care partnering strategies with the use of pre-recorded video clips of Teepa. Then, we will discuss, as a group, how this applies to YOU as a care partner. Each week we will tackle a different topic, some of which include, sensory changes, communication challenges, environmental considerations, time use, and self-care.

Each session will be 90 minutes long, and all you need to participate is a computer with a working camera and microphone, a quiet space, and a willingness to grow and learn! Please note that this series is intended for private care partners (i.e., family and friends of those living with dementia) and is not intended for professional caregivers or those living with the diagnosis.

Registration is currently open for the following sessions:
