Whether you\u2019re caring for a parent, spouse, relative, close friend or neighbor, the number of tasks can sometimes feel overwhelming. To compound this, family caregivers often lack the skills to start or sustain vital conversations with those they care for because these discussions are often difficult and uncomfortable. That\u2019s why AARP created&nbsp;<strong><em>Care To Talk?<sup>TM&nbsp;<\/sup>&nbsp;conversation cards (Family edition)<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 a 52-card deck of discussion topics available in English and Spanish meant to spark meaningful dialogue between caregivers and care recipients and address important life issues and long-term healthcare plans.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dementia Training: First Responders and Care Partners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Florida State University College of Medicine is excited to share a dementia training<br>resource that the GWEP REACH Program, the Dementia Care and Cure Initiative<br>(specifically TMH Memory Disorder clinic and the Alzheimer\u2019s Project), and Aging<br>Advocate have created to educate first responders and family care partners. This 22<br>minute video explains the basics of dementia, communication tips and supportive<br>interventions, critical thinking strategies, and ways that families can be prepared when<br>crisis situations occur.
