Wednesday, September 4, 10:00-11:00am

“Caring for Someone with Dementia”

Program: A new dementia diagnosis can bring with it a whirlwind of stress, confusion and anxiety about what to expect as the disease progresses. Nearly 60 percent of caregivers who care for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia rate the emotional stress of caregiving as high or very high (Dementia Caregiving in the U.S. 2017 Study). This month’s web seminar will offer a how-to look at caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or another dementia. The emphasis will be on the care and dignity of the individual to help them live a more fulfilling life. It will also detail a person-centered care approach to help successfully manage symptoms and positively engage the individual with the disease.

Presenter: Lakelyn Hogan, Gerontologist, Caregiver Advocate, Home Instead Senior Care

Presented by: Home Instead Senior Care and American Society on Aging

“Effective Communication Strategies”

Program: Communication is more than just talking and listening – it’s also about sending and receiving messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language. As people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias progress in their journey and the ability to use words is lost, families need new ways to connect.

“The Cultural Diversity of Grief and Loss”

Program: –As our world grows smaller, we are more frequently confronted with death and bereavement beliefs and customs that are different than our own. This webinar  won’t just present a list of cultural stereotype characteristics (“Latinos do this, African Americans do that, and Muslims do this over here”). Instead, attendees will develop cultural competence by encountering a diversity of beliefs from key people groups and learn skills for assessing and intervening more effectively with families from groups unlike their own.

Presenter: Dr. William (Bill) Hoy, DMin, FT
