While these behaviors are sometimes misunderstood as being within the person’s control\, they are in fact a result of changes in the brain that affect comprehension\, communication\, and coping abilities. This general course reframes agitation and aggression as responsive behaviors—signals that the person is experiencing distress.\n\nBy the end of the presentation participants can\n \n\n\n\n\nExplain how neurodegenerative diseases impact communication and contribute to behaviors such as agitation and aggression.\n\n\n\nIdentify common medical\, environmental\, and caregiving triggers that may cause distress.\n\n\n\nInterpret what individuals with dementia may be trying to communicate through these behaviors caused by medical\, environmental\, or caregiving triggers.\n\n\n\nDevelop personalized de-escalation strategies for caregivers that reduce distress and promote safety.\n\n\n\nEffectively empathize with and create systems to address caregivers’ distress.\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Description\n\n\n\n\nAgenda 5:00 – 5:30 – Food and Beverages 5:30 – 5:50 – Brief presentations from our sponsors 5:50 – 8:00 – Workshop (10 min break included) \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n2 CE credits available for social workers and certified case managers licensed in an ASWB-accredited state\, as well as New York State licensed social workers.

In this general course\, participants will learn about a range of dementia-related illnesses\, including dementia with Lewy bodies\, vascular dementia\, and frontotemporal degeneration. For each type of dementia-related illness\, the course will cover causes\, risk factors\, key characteristics\, symptomology\, and strategies for managing symptoms and disease progression. Participants will also learn how to effectively support families and respond to challenging symptoms\, including loss of empathy\, compulsive behaviors\, and anosognosia—the phenomenon in which an individual does not recognize their own symptoms. This fully interactive\, live webinar encourages engagement throughout the session. Attendees will have opportunities to ask questions\, contribute to instructor-led discussions\, and participate in real-time dialogue to deepen understanding of dementia-related illnesses and best practices for care. From this course attendees will be able to: \n\n\n\n 1. Differentiate between Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia-related illnesses\, including dementia with Lewy bodies\, vascular dementia\, and frontotemporal degeneration. 2. Identify the causes\, risk factors\, and key characteristics of each type of dementia-related illness. 3. Apply strategies to manage symptoms and support disease progression. 4.
