WELCOME!

Facing the future after a dementia diagnosis can be difficult. You may wonder how to work together as a couple, plan and maintain responsibilities, as well as having trouble understanding and accepting changes and losses.

Resilient Together is a skills-practice program for couples where you will work with your Resilient Together Coach- a licensed clinical psychologist- to receive tools related to coping and learning how to best support one another during this time.

During this program, you and your partner will simultaneously participate in 6 live video sessions with your Coach to review and practice skills that will help you feel more comfortable, capable, and prepared.

On this page, we included a video of what some of our previous participants had to say about Resilient Together for Dementia.

Resilient Together for Dementia is supported by many collaborators, researchers, and providers at Mount Sinai Hospital and at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).

We thank the members of the Mount Sinai Brain Injury Research Center, the Mount Sinai Center for Cognitive Health, and the MGH CHOIR lab for their contribution, expertise, and continued support of this program. We also thank our sponsor, the National Institute of Health (NIH), for their continued support of the Resilient Together for Dementia Program.

Lastly, we want to especially thank all of the Resilient Together for Dementia past participants. The program and manual were developed based on detailed feedback, which helped us form the current program.
