ALBUQUERQUE — Helping Alzheimer’s caregivers prepare for the challenges ahead of them – and cope with the changes brought by the coronavirus pandemic – is the goal of a series of free webinars offered in June by the Alzheimer’s Association, New Mexico Chapter, along with other chapters in the Rocky Mountain Region.
“During this crisis of Covid-19 and stay-at-home instruction, we are pleased to be offering an array of online resources, accessible from the comfort and safety of people’s own homes,” said Alzheimer’s Association, NM Executive Director Chapter Tim Sheahan. “It is essential that we remain helpful to families facing Alzheimer’s and other dementia in these uncertain times.”
More than 43,000 are among nearly 6 million people across the United States living with Alzheimer’s disease. Another 108,000 are providing unpaid care for them.
The interactive programs on a broad range of topics will enable participants to learn valuable lessons and tips from professionals as well as other caregivers.
Webinar topics scheduled this month include:
- COVID-19 and Caregiving
- Understanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia
