Dementia is one of the fastest growing women’s issues in the world. In the U.S. over 13 million women are living with Alzheimer’s or caring for someone with it. Worldwide, women with dementia outnumber men two to one.
It’s a complicated puzzle and the latest research is showing us that sex impacts risk, diagnosis, and manifestation.
Dr. Sherrie All is a licensed clinical neuro-rehabilitation psychologist and brain health expert whose trainings on dementia care have helped professionals across the country to understand the disease and provide the best care possible.
In this critical session, Dr. All will bring you up to date on the latest research surrounding dementia in women PLUS give you tools and interventions you can use to prevent and reduce difficult behaviors and improve your ability to communicate with cognitively impaired patients.
As someone in rehab who works with patients with dementia, this is one training you can’t afford to miss!
