Are you too busy to attend an educational program?  Audio Conference is designed for those who aren’t able to attend a program outside the home or office.  Once registered, you will receive through the mail, a toll free telephone number with instructions.  On the day of the conference you will call-in and join many others who are seeking the latest information on memory loss.

Memory Loss 101 explains the common causes of memory loss, including Alzheimer’s disease.  The importance of a good medical examination and diagnosis will be discussed.  Other topics include treatment trends, current research, and the stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

Understanding & Responding to People with Dementia  focuses on both common communication challenges and dementia related behaviors that caregivers often face.  Tips and techniques on the best ways to interact with a person with dementia and the possible causes of frustration and aggression, and how to respond will be discussed.

Building Caregiver Skills to Manage Stress will help caregivers recognize and minimize signs of stress in their lives and assist in setting realistic expectations of themselves, and the person they care for.  It will also focus on why, when and where help is available.
 
Making Meaningful Memories will help us recognize that activities are the foundation of our lives.  Creative activity ideas will be shared that are active or passive, functional or just fun… but either way they are reflective of our unique personalities and work in tandem with our purpose.

Now What Was I Saying? - Are you concerned your memory isn’t as sharp as it once was?  Want to do something about it?  If so, this program is for you. Now What Was I Saying begins with a description of how memory works and provides information about normal age-related changes versus serious memory problems.   The presentation will also address myths about the brain and memory and provide techniques that improve memory and brain health.
