AlzAuthors Untangles A Collection of Stories to Support Your Caregiving Journey

The podcast you are about to listen to is a recording of an event we did with Kensington Senior Living in June, 2022. "On the Same Page this Summer: A Collection of Stories to Support You on Your Caregiving Journey" features four authors discussing their personal dementia experiences. You'll hear from a young woman whose mother was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's when she was just 25; a professional in dementia care with strategies to help you manage your own situation; a mom in the "sandwich generation" who shares how she balanced care between her school-age children and her parents with dementia; and a psychologist who has investigated and encountered "shared death experiences." This is an insightful, inspiring episode and you're sure to walk away with greater confidence and knowledge to guide your own dementia journey. Please join us for our next live event on September 13th at 2 pm eastern time when we discuss Dementia Care Around the World with three authors representing the United States, Canada, and Costa Rica.
