African-American Alzheimer’s Caregiver Training and Support (ACTS 2)

ACTS 2 is a faith-based, skills-building and support program designed to meet the needs of distressed family caregivers of older adults with dementia. ACTS 2 consists of 12 sessions, 7 group sessions and 5 individual sessions, delivered over the telephone in the homes of family caregivers. ACTS 2 sessions are led by trained, lay pastoral care facilitators from the African-American faith community. Caregivers of persons with dementia have the opportunity to share their challenges and concerns with other family caregivers, and set goals for improving their own life and health situation as well as that of their loved one. Please visit the FAQ for more information on support sessions, and enrollment in ACTS 2 caregiver training program.
