Care Empowerment Series: Supporting the 6 Human Needs in Dementia Care
About this Event
Caring for someone living with dementia can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone.
This 6-week Care Empowerment Series is grounded in ABC Dementia Care’s 6 Human Needs framework. Each week focuses on one essential human need, helping you better understand what your loved one may be experiencing and how to respond in supportive, practical ways.
This is not about doing more.
It’s about understanding more, so care can feel more manageable and meaningful.
What to Expect
Each session offers:
• Clear, practical guidance you can use right away
• A deeper understanding of what drives behavior
• A supportive, non-judgmental space
• Connection with others who understand the journey
