Dementia Education

This program will be led by Dr. Maritza Buenaver, Geriatric Psychiatrist specializing in dementia education. The goal of this program is to help erase the stigma and misunderstanding of dementia by encouraging conversations about the disease, while advancing education and training that leads to compassionate care for individuals. This program will offer insight for people working with the public and for those working in health care.

Dr. Buenaver will teach participants to understand the perspectives of other people, view dementia as something relevant to themselves, and to think about specific ways of responding to people with dementia. She will also be teaching about the most common types of dementia as well as behavioral and psychological symptoms associated with dementia.
