This two-part caregiver conference features Authors Helen and Jim Whitworth and Pat Snyder and Dr. Trey Bateman of the Wake Forest School of Medicine.
This is the Inaugural Dr. Daniel Kaufer Memorial Caregiver Conference. Dr. Daniel Kaufer served on the Dementia Alliance Board of Directors from 2006 until his death in July 2020. Dr. Kaufer was a source of knowledge, answers and hope for the families he took care of over the years at UNC Memory Disorders Clinic, making each of them feel his undivided attention.
His vision of what dementia care should be played out in not only his research but how he helped families every single day get the resources they needed and deserved.
Dementia Alliance of North Carolina is honored to continue his legacy by establishing the Dr. Daniel Kaufer Memorial Caregiver Conference and the Dr. Daniel Kaufer Memorial CARE Fund.
For many caregivers, the most stressful part of the dementia journey is managing behavioral changes. This two-day conference will focus on AWARENESS, ATTITUDE, and ACTION to increase behavioral understanding and empower your response.
