Elevate & Relate Group Coaching for Dementia Care Partners

Dementia coach, educator, and award-winning author, Kay Adams, LCSW, is offering a 5-week group coaching program for dementia care partners that is available in a 2-level series:

Level 1: Saying Hello to Your Caregiving Brain
Level 2: Saying Goodbye to Guilt and Self-Blame

Group members who complete Level 1 of Elevate & Relate have the option to enroll in Level 2 of the program.

If YOU are seeking a judgment-free place in which to garner additional education, support, and coaching for your caregiving journey, then Elevate & Relate may be just what you’ve been looking for!

This group coaching program is specifically designed to:

  • Educate ourselves about brain change and dementia
  • Learn healthy ways of coping with caregiver stress and difficult emotions
  • Encourage each other by asking for and accepting help on our caregiving journeys
  • Validate each other’s feelings and experiences as a dementia care partner
  • Adapt to changing relationships and learn to grieve the losses along the way
  • Tell our stories in a compassionate and supportive environment
  • Empower ourselves and each other by gaining knowledge, skills and awareness

What Elevate & Relate Group Members Are Saying…

You presented the material in Elevate & Relate in a way that is easily identifiable for me. You have a gift of caring in your responses to each group member, which prompts the rest of us to feel empathy for the other member, while exploring how the material may apply to each of our own lives, as well.

The Elevate & Relate group was fantastic, and had an ongoing impact throughout my day to day life this past week. I’ve had important and powerful reflection time that has grown from your presentation, stories, comments, and the faces of all the participants. I am so very thankful both to you and for you… Your work has impacted the lives of so many and I am grateful to be among that group.

Taking this Elevate & Relate course is my best form of self-care. It is having a huge impact on my grasp of my husband’s emerging dementia. I appreciate the tools to healthier behaviors and understanding we are being given by Kay, as well as the insights and stories shared by my brave fellow participants.
