3 C's of Caregiving for Individuals with Dementia

Join us on Wednesday, April 2, 2014 at 6:00 PM for this valuable program designed for caregivers of persons with dementia. Community VNA located at 10 Emory Street in Attleboro will host Peter Ham, an accomplished lecturer, author and a licensed mental health counselor for over 28 years. Ham will offer his insight and expertise on how to recognize the challenges of communicating with a person with dementia and how it changes as the disease develops. He will also address: how adult children can best support their parent who is a spousal caregiver; adjusting to the changes in the person with dementia who is your wife, mother, husband, father, life partner or significant person; and resources collection early in the disease so there is comfort with getting help. Peter Ham, MA, LMHC  is the Vice President of Programs and Services for the Alzheimer’s Association, Massachusetts/New Hampshire Chapter.
