Education and Supportive Therapy for Families in Wichita
Helping Caregivers Understand and Manage the Mental Decline of Aging Loved Ones.
Mental health conditions in older adults are common, but families and caregivers carry a heavy load and may struggle with stress, grief, or uncertainty in caring for them. Early support improves outcomes by helping patients maintain independence and by empowering families with education and resources.
