The Stress-Busting Program for Family Caregivers of People with Dementia is a proven curriculum developed by Sharon L. Lewis, RN, PhD, FAAN in conjunction with the University of Texas Health Science Center and the WellMed Charitable Foundation which teaches stress management, relaxation tools, coping strategies and problem-solving skills with a support group component. Participates view the program as a source of strength and support for their caregiving role.
“Caregivers of someone with dementia experience high levels of stress, anxiety and depression. Dealing with those issues in a healthy way is vital to a caregiver’s well-being. Consequently, to care for the person with dementia, the caregiver must first learn how to care for themselves.”, said Karen Tennyson dementia care specialist at the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Rock County.
