The holiday season often brings joy, but for those caring for a loved one with Dementia or Alzheimer's, it can also bring unique challenges, stress, and mixed emotions. Join our supportive community for a special session of the Dementia & Alzheimer's Support Group focused entirely on managing the holidays.

In this vital and comforting session, we will discuss:

• Setting Realistic Expectations: Learning to modify traditions to reduce stress for both the caregiver and the loved one.

• Managing Social Gatherings: Practical tips for handling visitors, noise, and changes in routine that can overwhelm or confuse.

• Coping with Grief and Memory: Strategies for acknowledging the past while creating meaningful new memories.

• Self-Care for the Caregiver: Prioritizing your well-being during a demanding time.

• Sharing and Support: An open forum to share your experiences, ask questions, and receive encouragement from others who understand.

You don't have to face the holiday stress alone. Come find guidance, understanding, and a network of support at St. John's Circle of Care.
