Audio family! We shot this episode on location at Dad's Garage, but we made sure to include our listeners to get insight on what we learned. This episode explores the transformative power of improvisational comedy in dementia caregiving. We dive into an inspiring gathering connecting science and creativity, highlighting how humor can enhance communication and understanding in caregiving.

In this episode, expect: 

• Overview of the "Improving Care Through Improv" program 
• Insights from experts on the benefits of using improv with dementia patients 
• Personal stories from caregivers on their experiences and learnings 
• Discussion on emotional wellbeing and self-care for caregivers 
• The scientific foundation supporting improv as a therapeutic approach 
• Encouragement to cultivate community support among caregivers
