Upcoming Event
Meeting Date: March 23, 2022
Time: 9:00 am to 10:30 am
Program: More Than Memory- Is It Normal Aging or Dementia? What you Need to Know to Help.
Presenter: Kay Adams, LCSW
This workshop is appropriate for anyone who is interested in learning more about the difference between normal changes in our brains as we get older, versus the red flags to watch out for when the brain changes may instead be related to dementia. It addresses:
• What dementia is and isn’t
• How dementia impacts the brain
• Supportive communication skills for working with people with dementia
• How your approach MATTERS, and hands-on skills
• How to support care partners and people living with dementia in your community
Speaker Bio: Kay’s extensive background in geriatrics, hospice, palliative care and mental health allows her to address the diverse and complex experiences of her clients and audiences in a very relatable way. Known for bringing passion, integrity, humor, and a unique authenticity to her work, Kay can make often uncomfortable topics safe to explore for family and professional caregivers alike.
**No need to RSVP- just show up!**
