Dementia Caregiving

This 3-part webinar will meet once a week for 1.5 hours each week.

ARE YOU CARING FOR A PERSON WITH MEMORY LOSS?

This 3-part webinar will meet once a week for 1.5 hours each week. Attendees will come away with a deeper understanding of the impact of dementia on the brain and feel more equipped with skill-building ideas to put to use for more effective and engaging caregiving practices as care providers to someone with dementia. We are piloting the project this summer and I invite you to send staff, attend for yourself, and send caregivers you know who would benefit from this free, evidence-informed program. See attached flyer for details.

Learn how to:

• Understand basic information about
  dementia and its impact on brain function
• Communicate more effectively with
  someone who has dementia
• Recognize stages of dementia
• Provide meaningful daily activities based on
  your loved one’s interests and abilities
• Better understand and address dementia-
  related behaviors
• create a positive caregiving environment
• Learn strategies and benefits of self-care
