TRAINING DESCRIPTION:
This session will address dementia and mental illness as it occurs among persons who use CMH services. Symptoms and the course of several types of dementia (e.g., Alzheimer's Disease, Dementia with Lewy Bodies, and Frontotemporal dementia) will be described, as well as its co-occurrence with mental illness. Misdiagnosis of dementia, the effects of brain changes in dementia on cognition, behavior, and functioning, and finally implications for intervention will be discussed. Non-pharmacological intervention strategies that address symptoms of dementia and similar symptoms in mental illness, individualized to the person, disorder, and situation will be explored.

Join us as we learn ways to recognize evidence of dementia in the people we see (e.g., ways in which Mental Illness and Dementia might look similar or different) and helpful ways to intervene. This training is appropriate for social work practice levels of beginning, intermediate and/or advanced.(Not approved as MDHHS Approved ACT Specific Training– ACT Teams are offered “Mental Illness and Dementia: What is Going On and How Can I Help?”a ‘ MDHHS Approved ACT Specific’ training.)
