Webinar:
Exploring Male Caregiving for People Living with Dementia
Tuesday, February 9, 2021 2:00-3:00 PM ET
Webinar Registration
Effective Alzheimer’s disease and dementia caregiving
requires skills and understanding that are not entirely intuitive. For
many men, these challenges are heightened because they are not socialized
to be caregivers. This does not mean that males aren’t eager to be
caregivers. However, because of the ever-changing nature of dementia
disease, caregiving cannot be approached as a problem to be solved. This
webinar will discuss burdens specific to male caregivers, including
skill-building, asking for and receiving help, and self-care. A male
caregiver will join the presenter to provide a first-person perspective.
Presenter
Molly Perdue, MA, MS, PhD, Co-founder and Executive Director
of the Alzheimer’s Family Support Center of Cape Cod (AFSC). Molly’s care
for her mother at home for eight years was the catalyst for her research
into Alzheimer’s disease and dementia caregiving, and the creation of the
AFSC. She has worked with hundreds of families and individuals navigating
dementia diseases.
Complimentary CEUs available
through this free webinar. Closed captioning is available. The webinar
will be recorded and available to view at nadrc.acl.gov. If you have questions,
