Alzheimer's Association Workshop

The Alzheimer’s Association is presenting a workshop on understanding behaviors of those with Alzheimer’s on Thursday, March 8 from 6:00-8:00pm, at North Shore Elder Services, 152 Sylvan Street, Danvers, MA, that is free and open to public. Pre-registration is required. Please call 800-272-3900 for more information or to register. 

Understanding Behaviors provides education and practical tools to those caring for someone with dementia.  Actions, or behavior, may be telling us something, like “Slow down” or “I need something to do.”  Learning to understand the message and making changes to care can prevent outbursts and arguments.  

The Alzheimer’s Association, with headquarters in Watertown, has regional offices in Springfield, Raynham, and Worcester, MA and Bedford and Lebanon, NH. The Alzheimer Association provides services and programs for those with Alzheimer’s, family and professional caregivers in the form of support groups, a 24/7 Helpline, care consultation, advocacy efforts, research funding and education programs.
