Emotional Wellness for caregivers




How do we support ourselves and other caregivers of those with dementia?

Heidi Haley-Franklin of the Alzheimer’s Association (Twin Cities) will discuss coping strategies and available resources to increase the ability to care for individuals with dementia. She will also discuss common emotional reactions after receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and the losses that trigger them.

This session is free and open to the public. It will be held Tuesday, October 17 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Sawtooth Mountain Clinic classroom.

Heidi is open to taking questions from caregivers at the end of the talk, on how to manage in specific situations.
