What is The Human Touch?
The Human Touch is a resource designed to strengthen the knowledge, health, and well-being of friends and family caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
What we'll cover
Through personal stories, we’ll integrate neurological education topics such as: 1. understandable definitions of dementia and treatment strategies, 2. how to interpret research and current trends, 3. common communication barriers and strategies for improvement, and 4. the importance of end-of-life planning.
The Challenge
Alzheimer’s and dementia impact nearly 30 million households today and are
expected to double every twenty years. The challenges for family caregivers stem from not
being prepared for this role nor understanding the complexities
of the disease.
The Solution
The Human Touch will bring new light to the caregiving of Alzheimer’s and dementia through a nationally syndicated television series and dynamic website giving caregivers access to podcasts, expert insights and helpful ideas on any device. Anytime. Anywhere.
Integrating our
team insights and passion.
Led by renowned neurologist, Dr. Catherine Madison, and an award-winning creative team, our mission is to strengthen the knowledge, health, and well-being of friends and family caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
