Program Description
As dementia diagnoses rise and families shoulder the burden of care, a growing number of women find themselves navigating high-stakes careers while also caring for aging parents and children. This interactive workshop explores the unique challenges of balancing professional responsibilities with the emotional, logistical, and ethical complexities of dementia caregiving. Participants will gain practical strategies for boundary-setting, resource navigation, and self-preservation—while also exploring local organizations and healthcare benefits to better support working caregivers.
