SUMMARY:Brain Health: What Caregivers Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:The Fairfax Area Agency on Aging’s Caregiver & Supportive Services Unit invites you to join its upcoming webinars for family caregivers of older adults and/or adults with disabilities. \nIn this virtual webinar presentation\, hosted by the Fairfax Area Agency on Aging\, George Worthington\, Dementia Services Director for Virginia’s Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) will present on brain health for the caregiver and their loved one. Rapid developments in knowledge about brain health in recent years have helped focus efforts on slowing or preventing cognitive changes through lifestyle interventions. This webinar will focus on what caregivers can do to help maintain their own and their loved one’s health. Virginia’s Dementia Services Director will review the foundations of brain health and talk about several specific risk factors for dementia such as heart health\, sleep\, stress\, and social isolation. For caregivers in particular\, trying to create new habits or make big changes can seem impossible\, so this presentation will discuss small changes that can add up to a larger impact. \nAs the Dementia Services Director for Virginia’s Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS)\, George Worthington supports the Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Commission\, drives the implementation of the Dementia State Plan\, reviews existing programs and works with other agencies to more effectively deliver services to Virginians living with dementia. \nREGISTER HERE \n\nAll webinars are free and open to family caregivers\, older adults\, adults with a disability\, professionals\, and the community-at-large.\nAll webinars will be recorded\, and registrants will receive a link to the recording of the live event.\nFor questions\, contact Ayiguli.Saifuding@fairfaxcounty.gov or call 571-407-6961.
