The Michigan Department of Community Health, through the Michigan Association of CMH Boards, has
provided funding for this initiative through the Federal Community Mental Health Block Grant.
TRAINING DESCRIPTION:
This session will address dementia as it occurs among persons who use CMH services. Symptoms and
the course of various 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 dementia and are individualized to the person, disorder, and
situation will be explored.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Dementia and the CMH Population’ was created for all CMHSP workers and providers who come into
contact (briefly or otherwise) with persons who use CMH services. Join us as we learn ways to
recognize evidence of dementia in the people we see (e.g., ways in which MI and dementia might look
similar or different) and helpful ways to intervene.
