As a caregiver for someone with Alzheimer's disease, you may feel like you're dancing without choreography on two left feet! This special day will give you dance directions; information about Alzheimer's disease and caregiving, strategies for relaxation and rejuvenation, and smiles and support from other caregivers. We will celebrate together the strength and courage it takes to journey through Alzheimer's.

Keynote Speaker
Dr. David Pyle has been a psychologist in private practice in Kansas City since 1983. He has extensive training and experience in mental disorders of the older adult, as well as dealing with the stress of caregiving. Dr. Pyle emphasizes self care and using one's psychological and spiritual strengths to address the challenges brought on by a loved one's diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
