About this Event

The Smith Alzheimer's Center at SIU Medicine is hosting an eight-week caregiver support program, designed to equip family caregivers of individuals still living at home. Each week, this class will explore different topics on how best to care for someone with memory loss. You may sign up for all eight weeks, or just the weeks that are of interest to you.

This week, the session topics are:

  • Driving and dementia
  • Family roles and dynamics
  • How to manage the holidays
  • How to talk with your clinician and making the most of your visit

Please note that registering for this week does not register you for other weekly sessions. To see all other sessions and to register for others, visit the Dementia Caregiving 101 collection page.

Parking is available in the garage under the library or along the street.

Thank you for your interest in Dementia Caregiving 101!
