Resource Type: 
Webinar

This webinar (1:03:23 minutes) given by Kelly McCarthy, discusses non-pharmacological approaches in supporting individuals who exhibit behaviors that manifest as need or distress. How caregivers can support the challenges of two common transitions (a residential move and the introduction of caregivers) is also taught in this webinar. By the end of this webinar, learners should be able to: (1) identify roles that help support and understand the manifestation of need or distress of someone challenged with memory loss; (2) discuss best practices around supporting and intervening challenging behaviors for patients and caregivers; and (3) practice how to conduct a behavior intervention process using a team approach map. Registration is required by the creators in order to access the material but there is no charge.
