THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND UNDERSTANDING!
Description: Through the use of actual examples, this interactive presentation will explore family dynamics from the perspective of both the family members and that of the professional caregivers.
Every family has its own, unique dynamics. When someone within a family is diagnosed with a dementia-related illness/condition, the family’s roles and relationships with one another usually begin to shift. This presentation will review some of these changes, challenges, and possibilities when caring for persons with dementia.
It is hoped that through identification and discussion of the changes in the family’s dynamics that everyone can benefit: the person with the diagnosis, family members, friends, and professionals. This presentation will include the sharing of real-life situations, participant activities, as well as ways to promote problem solving through improved communication with one another.
Objectives:
- To help professionals and family members understand the impact that family dynamics has on the care and treatment of individuals with dementia.
- To help professionals and family members positively deal with the inevitable changes that occur when caring for someone with dementia.
- To work together to generate positive suggestions for the professionals and family members as they move through dementia’s challenging journey.
Target audience: Professionals, family and friends of individuals with dementia and caregivers.
