Event Name: Understanding & Responding to Dementia-Related Behavior

Date and Time: Thursday, April 14, 11:00am - 12:30pm

Location: Liberty Park

Learn about dementia-related behavior from the Alzheimer's Association.

Behavior is a powerful form of communication and is one of the primary ways for people with dementia to communicate their needs and feelings as the ability to use language is lost. However, some behaviors can present real challenges for caregivers to manage.

Join us to learn about:

• Learn to decode behavioral messages
• Identify common behavior triggers
• Learn strategies to help intervene with some of the most common behavioral challenges of Alzheimer's disease.
