June 13th, Normal and Common Aging: This is a fundamental session where we discuss and actually simulate some of the conditions that are quite common as we age. We focus on what is not dementia before we dive into what is dementia.

September 12th, The Working and the Broken Brain: During this session attendees will be taught the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s. We will explore the different parts of the brain and the effects of those parts being damaged by this disease. Attendees will gain an understanding of the reasons for common behaviors that occur.

December 12th, Managing the Challenges: In this session, care partners are encouraged to share problematic experiences they have encountered on the job. These events then become the centerpiece of discussion in exploring effective ways to overcome difficulties. Few topics create as much interest as this one due to the frequent changes in personality caused by dementia and the resultant impact on the primary care partner and family members.
