Welcome to Caring for the Caregiver

At Caring for the Caregiver (C4CP), we recognize that caregiving takes many forms. Whether you are supporting a spouse with dementia, a parent recovering from surgery, a child or sibling with special needs, a Veteran or a dear friend navigating chronic illness—you are a caregiver, and you matter deeply.

Our program was founded on the principle that no caregiver should walk this journey alone. Our team is dedicated to serving all family caregivers—regardless of age, background, or caregiving circumstance.

Here, you will find resources tailored to your needs, opportunities to connect with other caregivers, and evidence-based tools to strengthen your resilience and well-being. From education and self-care strategies to research-driven interventions and community partnerships, our goal is to help you thrive—not just survive—in your caregiving role.

Thank you for visiting. We invite you to explore, engage, and lean on us as your partners in care.

Bringing hope to caregivers

The Caring for the Caregiver program supports family caregivers through education, research, and practice. We provide education through classes and workshops for family caregivers, opportunities for socialization, and clinical care to support families living with dementia.
