At a Glance

Those who interact with people living with dementia often struggle with how to react to various challenging situations that may arise. As part of our “Age Well” series, join Beth A. D. Nolan, Chief Public Health Officer and a lead speaker with Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care®, to learn important information about the brain changes that typically occur during the condition of dementia, and how those changes may be contributing to these challenges. Practical strategies and methods of providing support to individuals living with dementia will be covered. Emphasis will be placed on helping learners to approach people with dementia safely and consistently and provide verbal support and responses that improve interactions.
