About this Event
In partnership with the Alzheimer's Association, were happy to have Understanding Behaviors & Communication session!
Alzheimer's is not normal aging.
It’s a disease of the brain that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior.
Communication is more than just talking and listening – it’s also about sending and receiving messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language. As people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias progress in their journey and the ability to use words is lost, families need new ways to connect. Join us to explore how communication takes place when someone has Alzheimer’s, learn to decode the verbal and behavioral messages delivered by someone with dementia, and identify strategies to help you connect and communicate at each stage of the disease.
Join us to learn about:
- The Four Steps Process
- Anxiety or agitation
- Confusion or suspicion
- Aggression
- Repetition
- Opportunities for supporting research
- Resources for people with early-stage
Certificate of Completion will be provided.
