Observing a loved one change as he or she goes through the aging process is difficult. But watching someone you care about decline through the stages of progressive dementia can be heart-wrenching. Whether your client is in the throes of caregiving or is simply experiencing a continuously evolving relationship with an older loved one who has dementia, increased stress is inevitable. Join us for this interactive program on how to help clients who are dealing with dementia in their personal lives.
This content is suitable for both beginning and intermediate levels.

It also applies to intermediate levels as it expands upon the introductory level, focusing on the role of the professional as educator and support to those trying to manage strategies to cope.
