Join us for our November Educational Meeting at Pueblo Norte where Laura Wayman, “The Demential Whisperer” will be speaking to us about why the world needs to be “Dementia Aware”.
Laura Wayman’s mission as “The Dementia Whisperer” and as an internationally recognized dementia care expert, consultant, educator and author is to change the world in how all dementia and cognitive care services are provided to those who suffer from various causes of dementia symptoms and cognitive loss. Laura wants to give meaning and purpose to those diagnosed with a cause of dementia or cognitive impairment—as well as give professional caregivers, the medical community and families peace of mind and help them understand that there is enhanced quality of life for, as well as improved quality of relationships with those who experience dementia symptoms.

Laura will cover what dementia “really is” along with explaining the root causes of common behavior changes in people with dementia and how to respond more effectively. This session can be valuable for family members, professional caregivers, first responders, and anyone dealing with those with a cause of dementia symptoms and the family members caring for them. |
By practicing and putting to use all of Laura’s examples of raised dementia awareness, everyone will better understand the dementia world, and guide their feelings to more of a cooperative and positive outcome. Learning to do so in a relaxed, confident, and calm manner will assist the emotional understanding necessary to solve behavioral challenges that can come up on a daily basis when dealing with the different causes of dementia symptoms.
