Program Schedule:

Understanding Dementia

Delve into the intricate changes occurring within the brain affected by Alzheimer's or other dementias. By grasping the underlying reasons for these changes, we can more effectively learn how to respond to the disease and its associated behaviors.

Validation Therapy

Explore the powerful theory of validation as a therapeutic communication technique specifically designed for dementia symptoms. Discover how to reduce fear and anxiety, prevent crises, and significantly improve the well-being of both the person living with confusion and their caregiver.

Managing Behaviors and Activities

Discuss common dementia behaviors and gain practical strategies to navigate each unique challenge. Learn to engage in meaningful activities that foster feelings of worth, hope, and independence for those living with dementia.

Creative Solutions and Practice

Develop a personalized plan of action designed to help your loved one live life to the fullest. We'll share real-life challenges and problem-solve together. Through practicing the tools and techniques discussed, you'll emerge feeling empowered and thoroughly prepared for the journey ahead.
