During candid, 30-minute interviews with leading experts, Claire Webster, Alzheimer Care Consultant and Founder of the McGill Dementia Education Program, will explore topics related to caring for a loved one with dementia.

Strategies for Coping with Challenging Behaviour

Dr. Wendy Chiu is an Assistant Professor of Geriatric Medicine at McGill University and a geriatrician at the Montreal General Hospital (MGH), McGill University Health Centre. Her work primarily involves multidisciplinary assessment and rehabilitation of the "frail elderly" at the MGH Geriatric Day Hospital.

Dr. Chiu will discuss strategies for coping with challenging behaviours in persons with dementia. She will also talk about how to deal with the overwhelming emotional and physical toll of caregiving based on her personal journey with her family.
