Dementia Caregiver Series: 3-Part Webinar

The Dementia Caregiver Series is a three-part webinar from WellWise Services designed to give family caregivers a practical foundation for caring for a loved one living with dementia. Delivered online, it makes essential education accessible to caregivers who often cannot leave home to attend in-person classes.

Across its three sessions, the series typically builds understanding step by step: what dementia is and how it changes the brain and behavior over time; how to communicate effectively and respond to challenging behaviors with patience and the right techniques; and how to plan for safety, daily care, and the caregiver’s own well-being as the disease progresses. By breaking the material into focused segments, the webinar lets caregivers absorb and apply what they learn between sessions rather than being overwhelmed all at once. The emphasis is on real-world strategies caregivers can use immediately.

This resource matters because dementia caregiving is uniquely demanding, and caregivers who understand the disease and learn proven techniques experience less stress and provide better care. Education early in the journey can prevent crises and preserve the caregiver’s health. As a webinar series from a regional aging-services organization serving south-central Michigan, it is convenient and grounded in evidence-based practice, and it is typically offered at low or no cost.
