Drug dependant, incarcerated, criminal offenders can sometimes resist the counseling process.

A participatory demonstration follows. This program is densely packed with counseling theory and research.

Kathryn Z. Douthit, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY
Alzheimer's dementia, a disorder associated with advancing age, appears to be related to many conditions that occur earlier in life. For example, factors such as stress, depression, inactivity, lack of intellectual stimulation, and cardiovascular disease appear to predispose individuals to the devastating cognitive impairment of Alzheimer's disease. Tragically, many of the correlates of dementia are of particular concern in African American and Latino communities and among those living in poverty. This presentation reviews the range of conditions related to Alzheimer's dementia and describes how counselors working across the lifespan are well positioned to promote preventive brain-healthy practices among clients.
