Workshop to explore counseling for those with early-stage Alzheimer’s
http://www.alzheimers-illinois.org/professionals/seminars/2013/default.asp
People with early dementia face enormous challenges in coping with their condition, but typically do not have access to one-to-one interventions for education and support. Because of this, many become isolated and marginalized. The upcoming workshop, Counseling People with Early-Stage Alzheimer’s: A Tale of Evolution and Revolution, will present a new framework that shows how the various emotional, practical and lifestyle issues faced in the early stage are interwoven.
Presented by Robyn Yale, licensed clinical social worker, the conference will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Thursday, September 19 at the Northwestern Memorial Hospital Pritzker Auditorium, 251 E. Huron St., Chicago.
