Todays guest will be Wendy Krueger.
Wendy has been a Board Certified Music Therapist for nearly seven years. She graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor's degree in Music Therapy in 2006, and currently works at developing new Music Therapy programs in Northeastern Massachusetts through her business, Up Beat Music Therapy.
Wendy directs a Music Therapy Internship program and supervises undergraduate students who are beginning placements in a Dementia-care setting.  Out of the many facilities she contracts with, Wendy works most with (and finds her passion most from) clients suffering from Alzheimer's Disease and other forms of dementia.
Studies have found that music is an incredibly powerful tool in the treatment and prevention of dementia-related behaviors and alleviates symptoms of the disease in many ways. As the population of people with dementia grows, Wendy is fortunate enough to have found her niche working with individuals so in need, and so often forgotten about.

Psychologist and Author Phyllis Palm of "Put That Knife Away," will join us to talk about her personal journey with her husband’s Dementia.In 2010 they moved to Mesa, Arizona to care for her husband of 22 years who has Alzheimer's disease. Why Arizona? Because she and her husband spent many happy times in Arizona with her three adult children and her two grandchildren and she thought they would help her care for her husband who became very angry any time she tried to hire help in New York.

Now Dr. Palm is a volunteer support group leader for the Alzheimer's Association and speaks to support caregivers both family and professional. She is the author of a memoir about her transformation as a result of becoming a caregiver for her husband who now resides in a memory care unit in Mesa.

Our second guest will be Musician, Mark Etheredge Mark's song “Room to Room” is gorgeous and moving and is a tribute to his mom who has been living with Alzheimer’s. It’s powerfully spare, just piano, stately viola flourishes, and Etheredge’s most soulful singing. His friend and, sometime creative collaborator, lyricist Michael Cronin, wrote the words. “When Michael handed me these lyrics, I just couldn’t deal with it, but over time I realized it was an important story to share,” he says.
