The Caregiver’s Journey Brings Vital Resources to Growing Number of Dementia Family Caregivers
The Caregiver’s Journey Brings Vital Resources to
Growing Number of Dementia Family Caregivers
Tackling day-to-day care of loved ones with
fresh insights and actionable tips in Season 1 of new podcast
August 14, 2024 – Filling a need for candid and practical advice for caregivers of people living with dementia, The Caregiver’s Journey™ today launched a resource center – including a new podcast – for family caregivers who are estimated to be serving over 55 million loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias around the world.
Multichannel resources available on The Caregiver’s Journey include a blog, books, online courses and videos. At the heart of it all are the frank and actionable, short and engaging conversations hosted by co-founders Sue Ryan, ACCTM and Nancy Treaster, CCC™ on The Caregiver’s Journey podcast. The podcast is hosted on Podcast.co and distributed by The Whole Care Network.
Drawing from their intensive personal experiences caring for family members with dementia and their training as certified caregiving advocates, Sue and Nancy engage in honest conversations about challenges – good, bad, and ugly – while offering specific tips for handling real-life situations like taking away the keys, safety and incontinence.
“Our mission is to ensure the growing number of dementia caregivers know they’re not alone on their journey; support is all around them.” said Sue Ryan. “We understand the emotional and physical toll caregiving can take.”
The need for this kind of resource is significant, with over 55 million people living with dementia worldwide, a number projected to reach 139 million by 2050, according to the World Health Organization. The Alzheimer’s Association estimates 11 million adult family caregivers currently provide care for those with dementia in the Americas alone.
“We’re here to empower caregivers with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate their journey with strength, patience and peace of mind,” added Nancy Treaster. “Through The Caregiver’s Journey, we are the wise friend who has been there, preparing others for what’s ahead.”
