A diagnosis of dementia can be devastating. It typically leads to feelings of fear, guilt, anger, anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and despair for both the people living with the disease and their care partners. Additionally, these couples often feel ill-equipped, overwhelmed, and deserted by their friends, family, medical providers and communities of faith. Well-intentioned community members often feel frightened and ill-equipped to deal with dementia so they pull away. If you are personally or professionally impacted by this disease, or if you are simply interested in gaining practical knowledge and real life skills in knowing what to expect and how to comfortably respond to individuals living with this disease this conference is for you. It will help you focus on what’s most important – the person living with the disease and their on-going need to be understood, respected and loved throughout the course of their disease
