    The Squeezed Generation: Balancing Dementia Caregiving with Everything Else

    In recognition of Alzheimer's Awareness Month, this virtual program will discuss the challenges of being part of this 'squeezed generation' as well as some practical strategies to foster resilience, connection and joy.
