The ABC of dementia Workshop

Entitled “ABC of Dementia,” the workshop will define Alzheimer’s and dementia, explain how dementia affects its victims, and the ways to become a better caregiver.

Understanding this, Is key to better care-giving and improved communication with the loved one with dementia.

Workshop attendees will each receive a workbook, a poster containing reminders for how to interact with those with dementia, and a wallet card certifying their attendance and training as “Dementia-Friendly.”
