Annapolis, MD (October 4, 2024) - On Wednesday, October 23rd, at 6:00 p.m., Mary Chaput, Program Director of Family Caregiver Support Programs at the Department of Aging and Disabilities, will present “Understanding and Dealing with Dementia Related Behaviors.
As an individual with dementia loses their ability to communicate with words, behavior becomes a powerful form of communication. Often, it is an individual’s only way to communicate their needs, their feelings, and their pain. Sometimes these behaviors pose real challenges for the caregiver. This workshop will identify some common difficult behaviors and their triggers, as well as strategies to help decrease them. This workshop will be held at the Severna Park Library, located at 45 West McKinsey Road, Severna Park, MD 21146. Register online at www.aacounty.org/aging or by calling 410-222-4339 or 410-222-4377.
This workshop is presented at no cost to the public through the National Family Caregiver Support Program of the Anne Arundel County Department of Aging and Disabilities.
