What is the Purposeful Planning Program?

It’s a free consultative service for individuals and families navigating all aspects of the caregiving journey. The Purposeful Planning Program consultations are facilitated by Clinical Social Worker, Kristin Cooley, LISW-S, LCSW with the NeuroPsych Center of Greater Cincinnati. Kristin’s area of expertise is with Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias; however your loved one does not have to suffer from a dementing illness to benefit.

The consultation will allow the opportunity for education (related to disease progression and communication recommendations) as well as emotional support. Care planning guidance and referrals to community resources will be offered amidst the session as well. This service is available at all stages of the disease process, from a new diagnosis to the later stages. The goal of this service is to empower caregivers to become more knowledgeable about their loved one’s ailment while building and strengthening their network of support. This will in turn improve their loved one’s care and lessen the caregiver’s stress.
