The COMPASS team is excited to announce our newest offering -- Savvy Caregiver is a nationally recognized leading evidence-based dementia family caregiver training program designed to provide mastery over caregiving skills! Launching Tuesday September 12th, the program will be delivered in person at JFS over 12 weekly sessions by our COMPASS team social workers, Laura Dickol, LMSW and Barb Hughes, LMSW, and will provide participants mastery of dementia knowledge and caregiving skills as you care for your relative living with dementia. The program is an exclusive benefit for COMPASS clients and there is no additional fee to participate, but space is limited.
As an option for your person with dementia, we will also be offering Memory Cafe to run concurrently at the JCC from 10am-12pm. Memory Cafe is a safe, supportive space for individuals experiencing memory changes to enjoy engaging activities that focus on strengths and are planned to encourage inclusion of all guests. Memory Cafe will be facilitated by JFS staff and is only open to those with a caregiver attending the Savvy Caregiver at this time.
Registration is required for both programs; to register, respond to this email to let Kate Gruber know of your interest, and you will subsequently be contacted by the Savvy Caregiver facilitators, Laura Dickol or Barb Hughes to confirm your registration. Please note that Savvy Caregiver does not have a virtual option at this time.
