SUMMARY:Alzheimer's Caregiver Support Series: Building Foundations of Caregiving
DESCRIPTION:Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia can be 
 overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. Join us at the Library 
 for a four-part Alzheimer’s Caregiver Support Series\, presented in 
 partnership with the Wyoming Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. 
 These free educational programs are designed to provide practical 
 information\, emotional support\, and local resources for caregivers and 
 family members navigating memory loss and dementia-related 
 challenges.\n\nThe series will take place on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 PM 
 in the Library’s Crawford Room. You’re welcome to attend any or all 
 sessions—no need to commit to the full series. Each class features expert 
 guidance\, real-world caregiving strategies\, and time for 
 Q&A.\n\nWednesday\, November 5 – 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s\nLearn 
 to recognize the common warning signs of Alzheimer’s and how they differ 
 from normal aging. This session covers the importance of early detection\, 
 next steps after noticing symptoms\, and available resources to support 
 individuals and families facing a diagnosis.\n\nWednesday\, November 12 – 
 Building Foundations of Caregiving\nExplore the basics of Alzheimer’s and 
 dementia care\, including how the diseases affect thinking\, behavior\, and 
 daily life. This class introduces key caregiving principles and practical 
 tools to build a strong care foundation from day one.\n\nWednesday\, 
 November 19 – Communicating Effectively & Responding to Dementia-Related 
 Behaviors\nAs the disease progresses\, communication can become more 
 challenging. Learn how to interpret behavioral signals\, respond with 
 empathy\, and adjust your approach for better outcomes and stronger 
 connections.\n\nWednesday\, December 10 – Wyoming Medicaid: A 
 Caregiver’s Guide to Eligibility\nIf you or someone you know is facing 
 Alzheimer’s disease\, dementia\, or another chronic illness\, we can

 Powers of Attorney and Conservatorships work. Join us to learn how you can 
 qualify for Medicaid\, protect your family\, and preserve your 
 assets.\n\nThis series is free and open to the public. Whether you’re 
 just starting your caregiving journey or have years of experience\, these 
 programs will help you feel more confident\, informed\, and supported. For
