Dementia Social Work Hour

Join the Glenn Biggs Institute social work team for our monthly Dementia Social Work Hour, a free online session designed for individuals living with dementia, family members, caregivers, and care partners seeking support, information, and practical guidance.

In a welcoming and supportive environment, our experienced social workers will help you better understand the challenges that can arise following a dementia diagnosis and connect you with resources that can make a meaningful difference for you and your loved one.

What You’ll Learn

During each session, participants can explore topics such as:

  • Understanding care options and available support services.
  • Planning for future care needs.
  • Advance directives and decision-making.
  • Community resources for patients and caregivers.
  • Navigating the health care system.
  • Caregiver support and self-care strategies.
  • Answers to common questions about living with dementia.

You’ll also have the opportunity to connect directly with our social work team and learn about programs and services available through the Biggs Institute and the community.
