What is it and why we do it

YES! recognizes the profound challenges faced by care partners of loved ones with young onset dementia (YOD) and offers transformative support through its Care Partner Wellness Retreats. These retreats provide care partners a much-needed opportunity to step back from their demanding roles and focus on self-care, surrounded by others who truly understand their journey.

Each retreat is designed to rejuvenate the spirit, strengthen resilience, and restore hope. Care partners engage in mindfulness activities, yoga, and hiking to prioritize their mental and physical well-being, while joyful moments like improv skits foster connection and laughter. With restorative massages, nourishing meals, and time for solitude, care partners find a reprieve from their daily stress. Evenings by the fire pit, sharing stories and laughter, help forge bonds and replenish their emotional strength.

Our Care Partner Wellness Retreats are offered free of charge to support care partners navigating YOD while often grappling with the loss of income for their families. These retreats are more than a getaway—they are a lifeline. The funds we raise enable us to provide these experiences at no cost, offering relief and renewal to those who need it most.
