SUMMARY:Adult Child CARERS Program
DESCRIPTION:This 8-week in-person program is for adult child* care partners of persons with mid- to late-stage dementia. Developed by the Reitman Centre at Mount Sinai Hospital\, CARERS is a comprehensive dementia care program that supports problem-solving skill development and introduces the innovative use of standardized patients – actors trained to simulate real-life situations – so that caregivers\, guided by expert clinical coaches\, will learn how to address communication challenges. Alzheimer Society of Durham Region made an excellent video that explains the program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaB0aHqBC98 \n*although “adult child” typically means that the person living with dementia is the care partner’s parent\, it can also be an aunt\, uncle\, sibling\, cousin\, or friend as long as the care partner is the primary unpaid caregiver. \nGoals of the Program: \n\nEnhance practical skills for caregivers\nImprove caregivers’ coping and problem-solving skills\nEnhance caregivers’ confidence in dealing with challenges\nImprove caregivers’ social interaction and social support\n\nSession dates:\nWednesdays from 5:30pm–7:30pm\, starting May 19th and ending July 7th. \n\nWeek 1 – Wednesday May 19th\, 2027 – 5:30pm-7:30pm\nWeek 2 – Wednesday May 26th\, 2027 – 5:30pm-7:30pm\nWeek 3 – Wednesday June 2nd\, 2027 – 5:30pm-7:30pm\nWeek 4 – Wednesday June 9th\, 2027 – 5:30pm-7:30pm\nWeek 5 – Wednesday June 16th\, 2027 – 5:30pm-7:30pm\nWeek 6 – Wednesday June 23rd\, 2027 – 5:30pm-7:30pm\nWeek 7 – Wednesday June 30th\, 2027 – 5:30pm-7:30pm\nWeek 8 – Wednesday July 7th\, 2027 – 5:30pm-7:30pm\n\nPlease note\, participants are expected to commit to all 8 sessions listed above.
