Learning to be a Mindful Caregiver  

Lori La Bey talks with Nancy Kriseman, MSW, who is a geriatric social worker with more than 30 years of experience providing counseling, consultation, and training to family caregivers. She has three caregiving books:

The Caring Spirit Approach to Eldercare 

Meaningful Connections: Positive Ways to Be Together When a Loved One Has Dementia

The Mindful Caregiver: Finding Ease in the Caregiving Journey

Learn:
What exactly is a mindful caregiver?
Are there strategies to handle resistance when the care recipient has dementia, doesn't want to move, give up driving, or go to the doctor, etc.?
How does resilience play a role in caregiving?
Does advertising play into how we perceive dementia and caregiving?
What are your thoughts about feeling unable to do things that used to be very common for a person with dementia?
What is compassionate deception?
What is the Spirit of Caring?
Nancy tells us about the "Activity Grab and Go Boxes" and how they can help families experience more meaningful time together.
What are some of the top tips you think will help families?
