ElderLink hosts a Virtual Support Call for Caregivers on the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 7:00-8:00PM. Focuses on a different topic each month and provides a convenient, safe space for caregivers to learn, share, and connect with one another. Registration is required.

This unique training opportunity which allows participants to “see through the eyes” of older adults is available through a new virtual training series called Exploring the Dimensions of Aging through Virtual Reality. The training series was developed by Embodied Labs and simulates what it is like to be an older adult encountering various challenges in everyday situations. 75-min facilitated virtual sessions focus on how social isolation impacts an older adult, the early signs and progression of Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson’s Disease, how to navigate caregiver burnout, and much more. Register for Exploring the Dimensions of Aging.
