June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month (ABAM), and all month long, the Alzheimer's Association is holding special events to share facts about Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. What a perfect time to talk to Elizabeth McMasters about how her law firm helps in supporting families with loved ones who are suffering. 
This is a must listen to for anyone who has a loved one  that is showing signs of an impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with their ability to do everyday activities.

Though dementia mostly affects older adults, it is not a part of normal aging. Of those at least 65 years of age, there were an estimated 5.0 million adults with dementia in 2014 and there is projected to be nearly 14 million by 2060. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and Elizabeth McMasters is here to talk with Jess Ellett more about this topic and to offer some guidance for anyone that might experience a crisis with a loved one. 

Elizabeth explains what an Emergency Custody Order (ECO) is and how to get one. She also explains more about the option of a Temporary Detention Order  and what the process is in Virginia for obtaining one. And we discuss guardianship and when that may be necessary. 

One of the things that can be the most challenging things we might face is suddenly finding a loved one in a mental health crisis - and realizing that they can no longer advocate for themselves. Elizabeth provides insight into how to be an advocate for your loved one.
