Overview
In this session, Dr. Joel Salinas and Adrianne DeVivo discuss a topic that is often overlooked: managing changes to relationships and intimacy when living with dementia. Dementia can change the "rules" of a relationship, affecting how we show affection, communicate our needs, and connect with our partners. Whether you are living with a diagnosis or supporting a loved one, this session covers why dementia can change physical desires and emotional connection, ways to adapt intimacy and maintain a strong emotional bond throughout the dementia journey, and how to navigate the "new normal" in your relationships.
