Online and In-Person Education
The goal of our Education Programs is to provide caregivers, families and friends with the emotional support and education they need to better understand and manage Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia so they can have the best days possible.
We offer our well-received monthly webinars led by staff and/or guest speakers with expertise in dementia care as well as legal and financial planning. In addition we offer live programs on various dementia related topics.
Registration for these programs is required. As always, our Helpline (1-888-280-6055) is available Monday – Friday, 8am – 5pm.
Community Education Programs Schedule
Managing Behavior Changes in Alzheimer’s Disease
Offered By Webinar and Telephone ConferenceBehavioral changes in Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia can pose concerns for family caregivers. As the disease progresses, behavior often becomes the primary way people with the disease communicate their needs.
Understanding Memory Loss
Offered By Webinar and Telephone ConferenceMemory loss that disrupts everyday life is not a normal part of aging. This program differs from “Understanding Dementia” as it explores the differences between normal age-related memory changes and abnormal changes that are associated with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, including some of the common warning signs.
Coping with Caregiver Stress
Offered By Webinar and Telephone ConferenceCaring for a person with Alzheimer’s disease or other form of dementia can be a very overwhelming experience. Often, caregivers neglect their own well-being because they devote so much time to the responsibilities of day-to-day caregiving.
