Challenges in Dementia: Forget the Behaviour, What is He Trying to Tell Me?

Join us for an evening talk on Finding the Meaning Behind the Behaviour

Tuesday, April 5th, 2016 at 7:00 p.m.

K-wing Annex, 2075 Bayview Avenue

  • Around 90% of people with dementia have some behavioural symptoms related to their disease
  • All behaviour has meaning
  • Finding the meaning behind the behaviour and responding to that message can help us be more accepting of the behaviour and help us handle it in a different way

Susan has been a registered nurse for over 30 years working in acute care & community settings and caring for residents with dementia within a specialized long term care setting.
