Caregivers Caring For Individuals With Dementia and Other Neurocognitive Disorders

In this 2-part series, caregivers who care
for a person with dementia and other
neurocognitive disorders will be given
tools to increase their abilities to:
• Understand and accommodate challenging
dementia-related behaviors
• Understand, communicate and remain
“connected” with their family member or client
• Understand common causes for resistance to
participation and cooperation while assisting
with personal care
• Understand feelings of denial, guilt and how
to handle frustration and the significance of
taking time for self-care

This free workshop is intended to provide a

supportive educational opportunity to help partici-
pants increase their understanding of caregiving

and to feel less isolated by increasing awareness
of resources and widening their support system.
Workshop facilitator, Alexis Gildewell,
LCSW is a member of the Geriatric Medicine
Clinic in Santa Rosa and is associated with the
Redwood Caregivers Resource Center sharing
her expertise in teaching classes and facilitating
