DEMENTIA BEHAVIORS AND NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14
11 A.M. | ZOOM 

Dementia’s deteriorating effects on the brain cause neurotransmitter disturbances, neuron damage, and poor integrative function that often manifest in challenging behaviors. Understanding how a person’s cognitive deficits impact their functional ability helps care providers choose appropriate non-pharmacological approaches to calm, reassure and communicate with them.

Upon completion of this course, participants will better understand:
• How dementia can affect the brain, body, personality and behaviors
• Goals of non-pharmacological therapies
• Various types of non-pharmacological interventions
• How to manage challenging behaviors with non-pharmacological approaches

Please note that the CE session will promptly begin.
Attendees joining later than 11:10 a.m. will not be admitted into the session.
