The Mindful Caregiver

We enjoyed an informative session, “The Mindful Caregiver: Supporting Your Own Brain Health, While Supporting Everyone Else.”
We were grateful to hear from Lisa Gale (Cognitive Care of the Carolinas and volunteer with the Alzheimer’s Association), who shared valuable insights into how dementia can impact behavior, including agitation, confusion, wandering, and aggression. She emphasized that these behaviors are often expressions of unmet needs and discussed common triggers along with practical, compassionate strategies for response.

We also heard from Jennie Yopp (The Ivey), who highlighted the importance of supporting our own brain health as essential to effectively caring for others.
Thank you to our generous sponsor, The Ivey, for making this important program possible.
