--------------- WORKSHOP ---------------When Anxiety Turns to Fear : Understanding Aggression in Dementia
Wednesday, May 13th, 2026 | 10:00am - 11:30am
Led by Heather Comstock, the Director of Dementia Friendly Wyoming (DFW) at the Hub on Smith Street in Sheridan, Wyoming.
--------------- LOCATION ---------------
Community Room at The Hub on Smith
211 Smith Street, Sheridan WY
--------------- DESCRIPTION ---------------
This workshop explores what can happen when anxiety goes unrecognized, for the person living with dementia and for those providing support. Participants will look at how feeling overwhelmed or fearful can drive responses that get labeled as aggression. Those responses often tell you something important, if you know how to read them.
The session offers practical ways to read the situation differently and respond to fear rather than react to behavior. Whether you are joining for the first time or following the series from uncertainty through anxiety, this session offers a different way to understand what is happening when things feel most out of control.
