Title: The 3 D’s and the impact on caregivers in the workforce
Description: Supporting caregivers in the workforce who are attending to the needs of an older adult with a neurodegenerative illness such as dementia, or debilitating illness like depression or delirium is crucial for their well-being and productivity.

Participants will also be able to define and describe strategies and resources available to support employees who are facing complex caregiving issues.
