Join us on May 15th at noon for the next Â鶹AV Cares webcast to support informal caregivers. During candid, 30-minute interviews with leading experts, Claire Webster explores topics related to caring for a loved one with dementia.  

The Caregiver Grief Connexion Project  

Pam Orzeck, MSW, PhD, is Associate Professor in the Â鶹AV School of Social Work and part of the coordination team at the Caregiver Grief Connexion project. Her latest research focuses on women's bereavement experiences after caregiving. She has published several articles and co-edited a book on professional interventions with caregivers.  

Zelda Freitas, BA, BSW, MSW, is Adjunct Professor at the Â鶹AV School of Social Work and part of the coordination team of the Caregiver Grief Connexion project. Ms Freitas’ expertise involves caregivers and caregiving, psychosocial practice, including palliative care and end-of-life care, countering adult mistreatment and older adults.  

 Ms. Orzeck and Ms. Freitas will speak about the project, a new initiative that offers free and accessible educational resources on caregiver grief and bereavement for health and social service professionals and care providers. They will discuss their motivations for founding the project and what they hope it will achieve.
