Annapolis, MD (November 5, 2026) - On Monday, November 9th at 6:00 p.m., National Family Caregiver Support Program staff will present "Understanding and Dealing with Dementia Related Behaviors." As an individual with dementia loses their ability to communicate with words, behavior becomes a powerful form of communication. Often, it is an individual’s only way to communicate their needs, their feelings, and their pain. Sometimes these behaviors pose real challenges for the caregiver.
This workshop will identify some common difficult behaviors and their triggers, as well as strategies to help decrease them. This workshop will be held at the Severna Park Library (45 W. McKinsey Road, Severna Park). Register online for this workshop at www.aacounty.org/aging-and-disabilities/services/caregiver-educational-workshops or by calling 410-222-4375.
This workshop is presented at no cost to the public through the National Family Caregiver Support Program of the Anne Arundel County Department of Aging and Disabilities.
Anyone needing accommodations must contact Colleen Ireland at 410-222-4375 or caregiver_support@aacounty.org at least seven days in advance of the event. Individuals who use Maryland Relay may dial 7-1-1 for assistance. All materials are available in an alternative format upon request.
