I joined this program early because I saw what other caregivers were experiencing and I wanted to avoid a crisis. Learning through the live Q & A's has helped me feel prepared and confident in my ability to handle challenges."
-Toni, Careblazer to her mom
"I have patience and understanding since going through this program. In the past, I would lose my temper. My kids even notice how much I've changed. I'm able to respond differently to challenging situations and we don't argue as much."
- Mickey, Careblazer to his wife
"I'm usually skeptical about any online program. But everything in the program is so practical and helpful. It can be applied the day you get it. Having access to others going through it is also amazing. I don't know where I'd be if I didn't join."
- Sue, Careblazer to her husband

Here's What A Few of Our Careblazers are Saying:
"Once I started looking at everything available to me, it was like a lightbulb went on. The information was realistic and heart-felt. It's given me more direction in how to help my mom and know when I'm with her we can do fun stuff. The program helped me make a decision to change the way I approach my time with my mom. It's improved the quality of the time I have with her. The program was able to answer questions I had that hadn't been properly answered before by others. I looked at the content and was pleased it was so diverse and offered so many topics and issues. I learned so much." - Martha
"I initially didn't want to pay money to join a program because I've worked in the mental health field. I kind of felt like I knew all the answers. I was really resisting it. But I knew things were only going to get worse and I was feeling really down. I felt like my life was on hold, but your course has given me my life back and reminded me to look after myself and keep planning for the future. The support groups have given me hope. The live Q & A's are amazing. The Care Course got me motivated again and enthusiastic. Give it a go. You've only got one life. If you want to make the most out of the time with your loved one. This is an excellent way to do that." - Amanda
"I felt like I was drowning and this was my life saver. There's this network of support. We have each other to talk to. It's made all the difference for me. If I have something I'm really concerned about I know I can send it to Dr. Natali for help. But I'm going to learn no matter who is asking what question. I can handle all the crises. It's given me the knowledge and foundation that I need to be able to help my mom. Had I not found this program, I don't know if I would've survived." - Dawn
"I think so often of my dark days and how every night I'd listen to your videos & classes. I'm once again experiencing happiness. I have joy. I have peace. I'll always hold the name Dr. Natali and your program as one so very special."
-Tom, Careblazer to his wife
"When I first started I was as tight as a string about to pop. Now my husband said I'm so much calmer and there's such a difference in how I'm handling things. I feel it. Having this community is a life-line pulling me back to solid ground."
- Dawn, Careblazer to her mom
"I needed the help. I was losing my patience and yelling a lot. I couldn't imagine treating someone that way so I knew I had to do something different. I now have peace of mind, am more calm, and no longer yell at him."
