About this Event
Please join us virtually for a presentation on “Facilitating Patient and Caregiver Knowledge, Communication, and Planning in Those Newly Diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease” by Dr. Beverly Thorn, Professor Emerita at the University of Alabama.
Learning objectives for Dr. Thorn’s talk:
- Discuss the psychological "crisis" at diagnosis for patient and caregiver, and the importance of inviting a learning approach to coping.
- Plant seeds for patient/caregiver understanding of disease process, family/loved one communication, and planning for care preferences during disease trajectory.
- Emphasize the benefits of being "in the know" rather than "staying in the dark" regarding disease and symptoms, ongoing family communication and planning as positive coping and self-care strategies for patient and caregiver.
