Join LeadingAge Kansas and LeadingAge Southeast on April 17 for the final session of the Dementia Care 101 series, Distressed Reactions: Finding a Creative Approach. This advanced session will explore how cognitive changes, and environmental triggers can exacerbate distress and how the behavior of caregivers, staff, and family members significantly impacts these reactions. Participants will examine the complex interplay between communication styles, emotional cues, and cognitive impairments to better understand how missteps can unintentionally increase fear and anxiety. Through case studies and real-world scenarios, attendees will gain actionable strategies to de-escalate distressed reactions by employing advanced engagement techniques and adapting communication approaches.
