We are so grateful to Teepa Snow for joining us as our keynote speaker at Education Day 💙

Her Positive Approach to Care, along with her practical tools, compassion, and engaging style, gave our community real strategies they can use every day. There was truly something for everyone to take away while reinforcing the importance of dignity and connection in care.

We are excited to announce our next book, “The Unexpected Journey.” Join us on May 5th as we discuss the first half.

Bruce Willis’ wife Emma has written the book she wishes she’d been handed on the day of Bruce’s diagnosis: a supportive guide to navigating the complicated, heartbreaking, and transformative experience that is caregiving for your loved one. Weaving her personal journey as a care partner with the latest research and insights from the world’s top dementia, caregiving, and integrative experts she offers the guidance and wisdom caregivers everywhere so desperately need to hear, including:

A diagnosis isn’t just a label, it’s a starting point. It helps you better understand your person’s behavior and respond with more clarity and compassion.
Taking care of yourself is not optional; it's mandatory. It will make you a better care partner. It’s not selfish, it’s self-preserving.
You don’t have a choice about being on the dementia caregiving journey. But you do have a choice in terms of how you approach it and reframe it.
Caregivers are human so you aren’t always going to be patient and selfless. You have challenges and struggle with conflicting emotions and that’s okay.
