Best Friends™ Approach to Dementia Care
Tuesdays from 12:00-1:00pm ET
Nov. 10-Dec. 15, 2026
Caring for someone living with dementia can be challenging, but you don’t have to have all the answers to make a meaningful difference. The Best Friends™ Approach to Dementia Care offers a practical, relationship-centered way to better understand, connect with, and support a person living with memory loss.
In this interactive virtual series, family care partners will learn how to become a “Best Friend” to the person they care for by building on their strengths, honoring their unique life story, improving communication, and responding to challenging situations with greater confidence and compassion.
Throughout the series, participants will explore:
Nov. 10 - Introduction to the Best Friends Approach
Nov. 17 – The Art of Friendship
Nov. 24 - Recipe for the Life Story
Dec. 1 – Enhancing Communication
Dec. 8 - Challenging Behaviors
Dec. 15 - Using Your Knack
Whether you are new to caregiving or have been supporting someone for years, this series will provide practical tools you can use right away while helping you preserve what matters most: your relationship with the person you love.
