ACAP: Responding to Challenging Behaviors of Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias

Covenant Presbyterian Church 2881 Canton Road, Marietta, GA, United States

Adult Children of Aging Parents - Cobb & Cherokee Chapter Event Sometimes, people with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia, as well as those with other health and medical conditions associated with aging, behave in ways that adult children and other family members find particularly confusing, inappropriate, and even frightening. This program is designed to help families understand that what we may consider concerning or challenging behaviors from a loved one with dementia often reflects their physical, psychological, or social needs or wants. Participants in this program will learn how to interpret behavioral symptoms of dementia and identify appropriate strategies for responding to behaviors by treating illnesses, injury, or discomfort; become aware of how to redirect challenging symptoms, make needed changes to the environment, provide psychological support, and ensure adequate and appropriate social interactions. Presenter: Angelia Brigance, MS in Counseling and BA in Psych, Certified Practitioner of Human Interaction Technology, International Speaker and Author on dementia, and leader in the older adult space for over 30 years
