Finding Your Way as a Family Caregiver

Presented by Dr. Carolyn Clevenger, Founder and Director of the Emory Integrated Memory Care practice

Caregiving for a person living with dementia can make you feel like you are in a maze of systems and services, making it difficult to find your way. Join Dr. Clevenger for a presentation on an upcoming program-under-study, CAN-DO, which follows three families as they learn to navigate the healthcare system, the legal system, financial system, and their family systems.
