Conversations with Caregivers Dementia Caregiver Support

Lunch is from 11:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., and the program is from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.

Please RSVP by Sept. 22 to Sameera Jackson at Sameera.Jackson@UofLHealth.org or 502-644-5232.

Conversations with caregivers are open to families and friends of those with neurocognitive challenges, direct care and administrative team members and interested community members.

Being a caregiver can be a challenging journey, especially when an individual is diagnosed with dementia. You are not alone in your journey. We hope you will make plans to join us as we discuss caregiving for an individual living with dementia or other neurocognitive issues. This program is designed for caregivers to come together to share common experiences, discuss challenges and concerns they may be experiencing and receive support.
