FCA Blog: Two Dementia Caregiving Programs Added to Best Practice Caregiving
The Family Caregiving Alliance (FCA) has published a blog, Two Dementia Caregiving Programs Added to Best Practice Caregiving."
The blog describes the two new dementia caregiving programs that have been added to Best Practice Caregiving (bpc.caregiver.org), a free online database that helps health care and social service organizations identify, compare and adopt best-fit programs for their clientele and community.
The first program discussed in the blog is Progressively Lowered Stress Threshold Intervention (PLST). This program is designed for caregivers of those in middle-stage dementia and who are experiencing caregiving-related depression, stress and/or anxiety. The second program is Dealing with Dementia, which features in-person, group sessions for caregivers of those living with dementia. This program focuses on the caregiving experience, dementia friendly lifestyles, problem-solving, dealing with behavior issues and self-care.
