Скачать или смотреть Understanding & Decoding Distressing Behaviors

When a person’s memory and thinking abilities decline from dementia, distressing behaviors and personality changes can create new caregiving challenges. We often hear caregivers say: “He’s never had such a short fuse” or “She follows me around all the time now...”

In this webinar we will explore:
Why do people behave the way they do?
What can create negative reactions?
What can be done to avoid distressing behaviors?

Join in to learn practical ways to ‘decode’ reactions, defuse distressing situations, identify and address unmet needs, and promote positive connection and well-being.
