Understanding Behaviors as a Form of Communication

Identify signs of distress or unmet needs in people with dementia and learn how to adapt or modify your own communication to provide the best possible support. Participants will also learn how to interpret behaviors, find approaches that may reduce distress, promote positive wellbeing, incorporate meaningful activities, develop self-care, handle mobility issues, and more. Advance registration is required for info sessions and Memory Café.
