Unfortunately, people living with dementia often engage in behaviors that can negatively affect their quality of life.  Caregivers and staff members are often unsure how to handle unwanted and challenging behaviors. In this webinar, Behavioral Challenges in Dementia: Practical Approaches & Environmental Supports, Dr. Robert Winningham will discuss how and why brain changes often lead to unwanted behaviors as well as a myriad of responses, interventions and environmental strategies to create a calmer and more engaging atmosphere.  Attendees will learn many new strategies that could help them better respond to unwanted behavior, possibly resulting in reduced antipsychotic medication use, and more. 

This webinar will take place on February 25 from 12:00 – 1:00 PM. LeadingAge Kansas members can register for this webinar for $59 ($49 Edge). Learn more about this session and register here.
