Description:
This recording has been designed specifically for you, the frontline dementia care professional who is providing the best care possible to dementia patients living with moderate-severe stages. They display complex and challenging behaviors, like agitation, hitting, screaming, wandering, delusion, resistance and withdrawal.
Persons with dementia need increasing support that is provided in a way that communicates friendship, compassion and dignity. However, those of us in a support role experience first-hand the frustration, disappointment and even anger that accompanies the day-to-day responsibilities of dementia caregiving – often leading to burnout due to emotional exhaustion, depersonalization of patients and feelings of failure. That is not the personal level of care you sought to give others while in school.
Avoid the real potential consequence of failed behavior management in your dementia care – join Leigh Odom, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, CDP, CADDCT and learn evidence-based non-pharmacologic treatments and person-centered strategies to minimize the effects of dementia behaviors. Watch and come away with:
- A systematic approach to developing individualized behavior plans that are more likely to work the first time

- Communication strategies to use with persons with dementia as a behavior management strategy
- Strategies to manage the potential consequences of compassion fatigue and burnout
