An Engaging And Informative Speaking Session
Laura’s speaking session on A Loving Approach to Dementia Care – Raising Dementia-Awareness Worldwide is a clarion call to action—positive, life-affirming, constructive action that helps caregivers and families better cope with a condition with boundaries that, for now, are essentially out of our control. In her educational, entertaining and enjoyable presentation, Laura provides the tools and inspiration to fight a battle where loss is not the inevitable outcome.
“I liked the approach that Laura brings! It’s real-life examples that I think will allow people to have more of an ability to relate to the experiences.”
“Laura Wayman brings so much to the table!”
“The dementia presentation paid off in no time at all! … We look forward to offering this course in the future to all of the healthcare providers at Cosumnes Fire Department.”
“I have been a preacher for over fifty years and counseled so many. When my wife got dementia, I didn’t know what to do. Wayman’s group sessions and her book not only gave emotional support but gave insight into how to care for my wife. Not only did I learn, I was so blessed with the time I had with my wife. Even the wise choice I had to make about which care facility I had to put her in as she approached the end of her life was made by what the sessions taught me. I am so grateful.”
“I wanted to thank you again for the help you provided during your workshops about coping with and taking care of my mother when she came to live with me in 2008. We had four of the very best years together even though her dementia Alzheimer condition was challenging. Your guidance was invaluable.”
“The Dementia Whisperer helped me transform the way I care for my grandmother, who started experiencing dementia symptoms about 10 years ago.”
