Thursday – JT Hunter
REMT Peer Partner Coaching
Learning to Swim in the Lake of Caregiving.
Rarely does someone plan to become a family caregiver. You don' t often receive a warning message. Most of the time it occurs in an instant, with an illness, a diagnosis, or an accident. You may feel as though you've been thrown in the lake with no plan, no training, and no life preserver. You are trying hard not to sink. JT Hunter, Certified Dementia Practitioner, and Care partner Coach will provide guidance and tools to help you feel more empowered, less alone, and more confident as you swim the journey of caregiving.
JT Hunter, Dementia Practitioner, is CEO of REMT Care Partner Coaching and Co-owner of Equipped, Empowered and Enabled, LLC. JT served as the 2019 President of the West Virginia Geriatrics Society and is a 2019 Governors Service Award Winner, for his work with Dementia Friendly Communities.
JT began his journey as a care partner for a family member with dementia when he was only in his mid – 20’s, and for more than 17 years he has provided mediation, education, and support for both family and professional caregivers, spoken to numerous healthcare and long-term care providers nationwide, and participated in a wide variety of work groups focused on making life a little better for those with a dementia and those who care for them.
