Please see this link to the proposed agenda for the day.
Please see this link for directions to the Bosler Memorial Library.
Mentors from the organization founded by Teepa Snow, a leading educator on dementia and the care that accompanies it, will provide a Positive Approach to Care™ Skills workshop focused on three main objectives, including awareness, knowledge, and skills assessment.
We will develop an increased awareness in the changes that can occur in cognitive ability and how our appropriate responses to these changes can result in more successful interactions with members of our community affected by dementia. The development of the science and the theory behind the use of the skills and approach to those affected by dementia or their caregivers or care partners will be presented, and there will be time where we will practice skills during the workshop so that our interactions with those suffering from this cognitive memory disorder are more positive and effective.
Please note:
Coffee and tea will be provided in the morning with no other breakfast provisions. Lunch is on your own.
