Memory Matters introduces SAVVY Caregiver Course – a unique resource for South Carolina caregivers

Memory Matters is proud to announce that it is the only organization in South Carolina offering the SAVVY Caregiver Course, a comprehensive program designed to empower family caregivers of individuals with dementia. This engaging course provides essential knowledge and skills to help caregivers navigate the complexities of caring for someone with cognitive challenges.

The SAVVY Caregiver Course covers many important topics, including understanding dementia, effective communication strategies, managing challenging behaviors, and self-care for caregivers. Participants will gain valuable insights and practical tools that will enhance their caregiving experience and improve the quality of life for both them and their loved ones.

Zoë Perpall, Dementia Care Specialist and Certified Savvy Instructor, for the course, encourages caregivers to take advantage of this unique opportunity: “Caring for someone with dementia can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be overwhelming at times. The SAVVY Caregiver course is designed to equip family members with the knowledge and support they need to feel confident in their caregiving role. I invite all caregivers to join this course and invest in their own well-being while learning valuable skills to support their loved ones.”

Registration for the SAVVY Caregiver Course is now open on the Memory Matters website. Interested participants can also call Memory Matters to secure their spot in this important program.

This course is more than just an educational experience; it’s a chance for caregivers to connect with others facing similar challenges, share experiences, and build a support network. Memory Matters is dedicated to supporting families navigating the dementia journey, and the SAVVY Caregiver Course is a vital resource in that mission.
