Guest: Dasha Kiper on The Influence Family Caregiving Has on Our Brain

Dasha Kiper holds a Master’s degree in psychology from Columbia University and has spent the past 15 years supporting family caregivers, professional caregivers, and mental health professionals. She currently serves as the Director of Caregiver Support at Renewal Memory Partners. Dasha’s first job—as a live-in caregiver for a 98-year-old Holocaust survivor with Alzheimer’s disease—gave her hands-on experience about the physical and emotional challenges of caregiving. She is the author of Travelers to Unimaginable Lands: Stories of Dementia, the Caregiver, and the Human Brain, where she addresses the neurological challenges faced by family caregivers. This perspective forms the foundation of our conversation on how to build better brain health—and the many benefits this provides us, as family caregivers and beyond.
