The Alzheimer's Association Dementia and Caregiving Education Programs is a free monthly workshop series designed to equip local caregivers with practical tools, coping strategies, and community resources. Hosted at the Durham County Library, these sessions focus on helping caregivers support their loved ones while also prioritizing their own mental and emotional well-being.
