SUMMARY:What's First Caregiver Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Too often\, clients shared that they wish they had learned what they would learn later in their journey but much earlier\, expressing how key insight on the dementia experience would have improved their overall dementia journey.\nThis brand-new support group was designed by AST social workers in collaboration with caregivers\, people experiencing cognitive changes\, and various dementia specialists to offer key insight at the start of the dementia journey for the care partner.\nOur experience tells us that the earlier you know what you know\, the better your overall caregiving journey. \nEach session will focus on a key theme.
