Dementia Caregiving Series, a three-part online program designed for caregivers of people with dementia, will be held on Wednesdays in June (10, 17 and 24) from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. EDT via Zoom.

During the three online sessions, participants will learn basic information about dementia and its impact on brain function, how to communicate more effectively with someone who has dementia, recognize stages of dementia, how to provide meaningful daily activities based on the interests and abilities of the person with dementia, how to better understand and address dementia related behaviors, and learn strategies and benefits of self-care. Each session is an hour long.

There is no charge for this program, but registration is required. To register, visit www.upcap.org and click on EVENTS or call 2-1-1 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday for assistance. Registration ends when the class is full or on June 1. Participants must have a device with internet connection and email address to attend.

The series is provided by Upper Peninsula Commission for Area Progress (UPCAP). It is available in part through funding from the Older American’s Act and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Bureau of Aging, Community Living, and Supports.
