This workshop provides practical information about state
and federally subsidized home care programs for older adults with dementia and their caregivers, and how to access these services.

Caregivers often have questions about these programs, want to learn more, and ask those in the know.

Here’s your opportunity!

Workshop presenters Marissa Henderson and Jocelyn Fliger, social workers and dementia care advocates, will cover key topics, including the types and benefits of state-subsidized in-home care services, health and wellness programs, and emergency home energy assistance.

They will also share strategies to reduce the stress of accessing needed services and answer questions from workshop participants.

Current and future caregivers, elder care professionals, and other interested community members are strongly encouraged to join
the workshop.

Caring for a loved one with dementia can bring many responsibilities, questions, and challenges. Having access to the right education, resources, and support can make a meaningful difference along the caregiving journey.

The ACTS2 Caregiver Project is committed to helping family caregivers strengthen their skills while also remembering the importance of caring for themselves.

Through our caregiver support services, you can find:

📚 Caregiver Education & Training — Learn practical skills and strategies for caring for a loved one with dementia.
💬 Emotional Support — Connect, share experiences, and receive encouragement within a caring community.
📋 Practical Resources — Discover helpful tools, tips, and referrals to support your caregiving journey.
💚 Self-Care for Caregivers — Learn strategies for managing stress, supporting your well-being, and maintaining a healthier lifestyle.

You don't need all the answers to become a stronger, more confident caregiver. Education, support, and practical skills can help you care for your loved one while also caring for yourself.

Finding the balance every day.

Caregiving is a journey, and finding balance doesn’t mean getting
everything perfect. It means continually adjusting as the needs of your
loved one—and your own needs—change.

As a caregiver, it’s important to regularly ask two questions:

“How are they doing?”
and
“How am I doing?”

Both answers matter.

Healthy caregiving includes caring for your loved one with dementia while also recognizing and supporting your own well-being.

Our previous livestream workshop, “Finding the Balance: Caring for Yourself While Caring for a Loved One with Dementia,” explored ways family caregivers can navigate this balance with greater compassion, awareness, and support.

Loving kindness isn’t only something we give to others—it’s something caregivers deserve, too. 💜

When caring for a loved one with dementia, compassion, patience, and understanding can make a meaningful difference. But remember to extend that same kindness and grace to yourself.

Self-compassion can strengthen caregiving. Giving yourself grace—especially on difficult days—can help you be more patient and compassionate with the person you care for.

During our previous livestream workshop, “Finding the Balance: Caring for Yourself While Caring for a Loved One with Dementia,” we explored the importance of caring for your own well-being while continuing to support someone you love.

You can’t pour from an empty cup. 💜

For family caregivers, caring for yourself isn’t selfish—it’s an important part of being able to continue caring for someone you love.

Just as we’re reminded to put on our own oxygen mask before helping someone else, caregivers also need to recognize their limits, make space for their own well-being, and replenish themselves when they’re feeling emotionally depleted.

During our previous livestream workshop, “Finding the Balance: Caring for Yourself While Caring for a Loved One with Dementia,” we explored the importance of balancing the needs of your loved one with dementia with your own physical and emotional well-being.

Caregiving is a balancing act.

When caring for a loved one with dementia, it can be easy to place their needs ahead of your own. But healthy caregiving means recognizing that both you and your loved one need care.

Every caregiver lives between these two important responsibilities. When one side feels too heavy, that balance can be hard to maintain.

In our previous livestream workshop, “Finding the Balance: Caring for Yourself While Caring for a Loved One with Dementia,” we explored ways caregivers can prioritize their own well-being while continuing to provide meaningful care and support for their loved ones.

💜 Finding the Balance in Caregiving
