Blaming and anger: How do you deal with it?
Caregivers: Dementia | Last Active: 20 hours ago | Replies (24)Comment receiving replies
Hello. I am finding that taking caregiver classes is helping me with tools to manage my husband's target behaviors (the behaviors that cause me the most frustration).
The Alzheimers Association offers free classes for Alz. and dementia.
In my state (Oregon) we have the Oregon Care Partners group that also offer free classes.
All the best. 🪻

@judimahoney , Yes! The care givers class offered by UPCAP in northern Michigan has been a god send. I am taking advantage of all resources in my area to help me prepare as my husband starts his cognitive decline.
I try to use the communication practices suggested in our book and meetings. It is so hard to live moment to moment with a cognitive diminished loved one.

The caregivers class fills up pretty fast, so you will want to sign up as early as you think you might want to take them. I signed up in September, and in November I was scheduled for the March session.
