World Alzheimer’s Day

Shilpa Sadanand from the TRC team shares her experiences on the frontlines…
“During my years as a psychologist, I witnessed the incredible strength of families and caregivers supporting loved ones with dementia. One memory from 2012 still stays with me: a son caring for his father who no longer recognized him, yet continuing with compassion and dignity. That moment reminded me of the profound resilience of caregivers.

These experiences shaped my journey and now guide my work at TRC, where we focus on supporting healthcare workers’ mental health and wellbeing. Healthcare professionals carry not only the responsibility of patient care but also support families during their most vulnerable times.

As we stop to honor those living with dementia, I invite us to honor also the caregivers and healthcare workers who embody resilience, compassion, and humanity every day.”
