Age Well: Coping with Challenging Situations in Dementia Care

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.

This lecture is part of our new “Age Well” series, designed to provide valuable insights, expert guidance, and practical tools for navigating the aging journey with confidence. These programs explore key topics related to aging, from health and wellness to planning for the future, offering meaningful perspectives and resources for older adults and caregivers alike. Your online lecture will take place live over the course of 1-2 hours. All times are listed in the EASTERN time zone. If you live in a different time zone, please adjust your schedule accordingly. This live online experience uses Zoom Webinar, an easy-to-use web video service that includes closed captioning. All you need is an Internet connection and your computer.
