Care Circle

Project Description
Tether - Dementia Family Support, is a holistic care initiative designed to support families navigating the emotional, social, and logistical challenges of caring for a loved one with dementia. The project focuses on empowering informal caregivers - family members, friends, and community members - through accessible, empathetic, and well-researched tools that enable conscious caregiving. It aims to bridge the gap between medical diagnosis and day-to-day care, transforming caregiving from a stressful obligation into a more informed, compassionate family practice.
