Dementia-Related Behavior Educational Event On Mar. 31

The Long Island Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association will be holding an in-person event called “Understanding and Responding to Dementia-Related Behavior” in partnership with Day Haven Adult Day Services on Friday, Mar. 31 from 10-11 a.m. at Day Haven Adult Day Services.

Join us to learn to decode behavioral messages and learn strategies to help intervene with some of the most common behavioral challenges of Alzheimer’s disease. This is one of the primary ways for people with dementia to communicate their needs and feelings as some behaviors can be a challenge for caregivers to manage.

“The event will assist caregivers with identifying behavioral messages and provide more education on the behavioral challenges of Alzheimer’s disease,” said Taryn Kutujian, LMSW, Senior Community Education

Manager for the Alzheimer’s Association Long Island Chapter.
