Class Description

The Alzheimer's Association’s Understanding & Responding to Dementia-Related Behaviors program is designed to provide practical information and resources to help dementia caregivers learn to decipher behaviors and determine how best to respond.

The program offers a four-step model for intervention and then demonstrates how it can be applied to five of the most common behaviors encountered by caregivers:
• Anxiety or agitation,
• Confusion or suspicion,
• Aggression,
• Repetition, and
• Wandering
The goal is for participants to leave the program feeling comfortable using the four-step model to intervene with behaviors they are encountering. Participants will receive a workbook to use as a guide when using the four-step model.
The program is designed to run approximately 1 hour including Q&A.
