Lisa Cohen is a retired attorney and Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has spent her professional life advocating for and supporting others. Although retired from active practice, she maintains active licenses in both professions and continues to apply her skills through ongoing community engagement, lifelong learning, and, more recently, support for democratic principles and elected officials.
Her connection to CaringKind is deeply personal. She is a care partner to her husband, who is living with Alzheimer’s disease, as well as blindness, macular degeneration, and heart disease. Throughout this journey, the staff, programs, and resources at CaringKind have been a lifeline, not only for her, but for many others navigating similar challenges. She first connected with CaringKind as a participant in one of its caregiver support groups, a relationship that has continued over time.
The compassion, expertise, and sense of community that CaringKind has provided has been invaluable during an exceptionally challenging period in her life. She is a strong believer in the importance of comprehensive, sustained support for those caring for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, and she is deeply grateful for CaringKind’s mission and the profound impact the organization continues to have on caregivers and those they support.
