What Dementia Caregivers Need Most (It's Not What You Think)


Listen Later

In this video, I share what dementia caregivers need most...and it's probably not what you've been told. This insight comes from the longest study ever conducted on human health and wellbeing: the Harvard Study on Adult Development, which followed people for more than 85 years.

What researchers found challenges common assumptions about success, strength, and resilience. I break down what the science actually says, why this matters so much for caregivers in the middle of dementia care, and how connection and emotional safety play a powerful role in both caregiver health and dementia care outcomes.

Read about the study here: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2017/04/over-nearly-80-years-harvard-study-has-been-showing-how-to-live-a-healthy-and-happy-life/

If you're feeling stretched thin, disconnected, or unsure how to keep going long term, this video will help you reframe what truly supports you, and your loved one, as the journey continues.
