A Creative and Person-Centered Day Service Model – Growing Older with Lifelong Intellectual Disabilities: When Dementia is Suspected or Diagnosed

This Project ECHO series is a free, practical, case-based education program for health care and human service providers who want to enhance their knowledge, competence, and performance related to the care of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities affected by dementia. Each ECHO session will include a short presentation by a topic expert, followed by a case study submitted in advance by an ECHO participant site, and then open discussion to learn from one another. The NTG and URI/VCU GWEPs will be holding their 11th series of ECHO programs on topics related to intellectual disability and dementia. The theme for the Fall 2025 Series is Post-Diagnostic Supports.

Project Dana Caregiver Support Group

Project Dana’s Caring for the Caregiver (C4C) program offers services to family caregivers and soon to be caregivers. The goal of the program is to help alleviate the stress that comes with continuous caregiving responsibilities. Caregivers will have the opportunity to “talk story” about their experiences and current concerns with their peers. The Project also plans outings to various locations and activities for fun and relaxation. The program’s coordinator facilitates the group meetings. Support group meetings scheduled and location are listed in the calendar.
