Join the Caring for the Caregiver Program for the Learning Skills Together Workshop. This workshop is intended for families and families of choice who are caring for someone with dementia and other cognitive conditions. Learning Skills Together is a 2-week course that is delivered by video conference (Zoom) over 4 sessions. Each session will be 1.5 hours. During this program, topics covered will include transfer/fall prevention, home safety, medication management, and issues related to behavior management.

We are evaluating the Learning Skills Together in a research study. Family Caregivers, including families of choice (for example friends), who are assisting someone living with mid-stage dementia may also be eligible to participate in a study regarding how participation in the Learning Skills Together Program affects caregivers.
