• August 14: Common Behaviors in Dementia: What are behaviors and how can we walk alongside them.
• September 11: Back to Routine and Resetting – The importance of setting up routines and having structure for someone living with cognitive decline.
• October 9: Holiday and Winter Prep – Prepare yourself for the holiday and weather season ahead for both you and your loved one.
• November 13: Gratitude and Support – Honoring your role and understanding the scope of being a caregiver.  Also learn about helpful gratitude practices for your mental well-being.
• December 11: Traditions and Transitions – Adapting your traditions to meet your loved one’s current physical, emotional, or cognitive needs.

We also offer the opportunity for individuals with specific concerns or needs to connect one-on-one with an Evergreen Commons Dementia Support Specialist. For more information on the support group or to be connected with a specialist, contact Melissa Langworthy or 796-3346.
