Responding to Challenging Behaviors of Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias
Doors open at 5:00pm • Program begins at 5:30pm
This program is designed to help families understand that what we may consider concerning or challenging behaviors from a loved one with dementia may be an attempt to communicate physical, psychological, or social needs and wants. Participants in this program will learn strategies to interpret behavioral symptoms of dementia and identify appropriate responses to behaviors.
