Dementia affects a person’s ability to communicate and creates changes in their behaviors. Join us to discover new ways to communicate effectively at any stage of the disease. You will learn tips to improve communication, steps to recognize and manage dementia-related behaviors and their triggers, and how to recognize when additional help is needed.
Additional Information
Becoming a caregiver for someone with dementia comes with unique challenges, but with the right knowledge and skills, caregivers can feel empowered and confident in their role. This interactive workshop provides practical strategies that foster dignity and connection, including effective communication, managing challenging behaviors, and mastering essential hands-on caregiving skills. You will learn and practice safe and efficient techniques such as bed care, transfers, eating assistance and more. While this workshop will focus on dementia caregiving, it can also be applied to any caregiving role, and will equip you with the tools to provide compassionate, skilled care with confidence.
This program is offered in partnership with the Area Agency on Aging and Engaging Dementia Effectively.
Please dress comfortably as we will be doing hands-on training.
