SAVVY programs are designed to provide the most relevant dementia knowledge, skills, and mastery to support family members as they provide care for their relative or friend living with dementia. Savvy Caregiver programs have been proven to decrease family caregiver distress, burden, and depression, while increasing caregivers’ sense of competence and confidence in their care role.
This four-week workshop series is for graduates of the Savvy Caregiver program who are either approaching, currently in, or preparing for late-stage Cognitive Decline, Alzheimer’s Disease, or other related Dementias in those they care for.
This advanced program meets for 2 ½ hours weekly for four weeks and covers new and different content from SAVVY Caregiver® focusing on future planning and daily care issues.
The class will be offered:
- Oct. 2-Oct. 23, from 1pm to 3:30pm, and
- Jan. 7 – Jan. 28, from 9:30am to 12:00pm.

- Reduce personal stress
- Change negative self-talk
- Communicate their needs to family members and healthcare service providers
- Communicate more effectively in challenging situations
- Recognize the messages in their emotions and deal with difficult feelings
