Wyoming Dementia Together is a new program for caregivers offered through the Wyoming Center on Aging (WyCOA) at the University of Wyoming.
The goal of the program is to “create a vibrant, active community that touches every caregiver in Wyoming to harness personal strengths and local resources to ultimately provide the best care possible for those living with dementia,” says Sabine Schenck, the project’s coordinator.
The program is composed of experienced professionals who collaborate with caregivers to provide free confidential education and support to those whose loved ones are living with dementia.
Caregivers will meet through Zoom technology to learn how to best support their loved ones; learn how to ask for support and connect to community resources; and learn how to build their own resources to manage stress and deal with challenging situations, Schenck says.
