The Healthy Brain Coalition’s Workforce Work Group has a new resource to share. A Guide to Navigating Dementia, developed by the South Dakota Department of Human Services. This new resource includes helpful tips and guidance on important decisions for families and care partners of people living with dementia or memory loss. The group is working with key statewide networks to provide this new resource to healthcare providers, care teams, and community partners. Please share the guide through your organization’s communication channels.
- Download and share the Guide: Email it to families, post on your website, or share via newsletters/social media.
- DHS Letter: Include a blurb in your next newsletter. The attached letter from Secretary Melissa Magstadt and Secretary Shawnie Rechtenbaugh can be shared with it.
- Complete the online order form to request printed copies
- Host a distribution event: Workshops or tabling at support groups where caregivers gather.
Specific questions about the guide can be directed to Heather Krzmarzick at heather.krzmarzick@state4.sd.us
