Many caregivers feel uncertain about the changes dementia brings – from communication challenges and shifting roles to safety concerns, care decisions, and long‑term planning.

Join us for an informative and interactive workshop designed to help families understand what to expect, how to support a loved one, and how to prepare both emotionally and financially throughout the dementia journey.

Together, we’ll explore practical strategies, emotional preparation, and supportive tools, using real‑life examples and actionable techniques to help you navigate each stage alongside your loved one with greater confidence and ease.
