💙 Clarity is Kindness: An Honest Conversation on Dementia Caregiving 💙

Caregiving in dementia support is often led by love—but sometimes instinct can get in the way of insight. This program invites families and care partners to gently reflect on patterns that may feel natural, but don’t always serve our loved ones where they are in their journey.

✨ Together we’ll explore:

✔ Why some “common sense” approaches may unintentionally cause distress
✔ How humility and curiosity can lead to more compassionate choices
✔ Real family stories that inspired this eye-opening conversation

If you’ve ever thought, “I was only trying to help,” this session is for you.

This is not about blame—it’s about love, understanding, and becoming the kind of care partners we aspire to be. Because when we know better, we love better. 💜

RSVP today: 49f19174-9a13-49c5-a3eb-f361e7d7fa08@22190dc0-dae4-47ab-a5ea-7abf4bcfd001" rel="ugc" target="_blank">https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/49f19174-9a13-49c5-a3eb-f361e7d7fa08@22190dc0-dae4-47ab-a5ea-7abf4bcfd001
