Charis: How to Support People Affected by Alzheimer's or Other Related Dementias

Aug 2, 2018 | UA News

As the signs, symptoms and conditions of Alzheimer’s or other related dementias progress, how can a person who is diagnosed or a caregiver be best supported?
 
At a recent Charis quarterly meeting, 27 participants from 19 churches and parachurch organizations gained tools and knowledge to help answer this question.
 
They heard from Diane Galloway from First Church of Christ in Wethersfield and Bryan Bywater from Church Army USA, who shared powerful personal testimonies and helpful strategies for working through this type of challenging life situation, and left with printed materials to share with the people they serve and additional resources for further learning.
