Psychotherapeutic Support for Family Caregivers
About
A special in-person workshop jointly hosted by Deakin University, Latrobe University, the National Ageing Research Institute (NARI) and Swinburne University’s Wellbeing Clinic for Older Adults.Caring for a loved one with dementia can be profoundly rewarding—but also emotionally and psychologically demanding. In this practical and evidence-based workshop, Prof. Gabriele Wilz shares her internationally recognised psychotherapeutic approach tailored to the needs of family caregivers. Drawing on cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and client-centred methods, participants will gain skills to help caregivers manage dysfunctional thoughts, regulate emotions such as guilt and anger, and build resilience.
The first part of the workshop focuses on identifying and addressing common unhelpful cognitions in caregivers. The second part explores strategies for managing difficult emotions and breaking the cycle of distress, shame, and self-doubt. The model is grounded.
