Welcome Back Teepa Snow! Attendee Comments From Past Teepa Snow Programs: "She is right on the dot with dementia. When she was talking I started remembering residents with same actions. I did what she said and it works." "Teepa should go to every nursing home in Connecticut...actually the country and educate all who work with individuals with dementia!" Program Information: Enhancing Mobility and Reducing Fall Risks The program will provide learners with practical hands-on skills and strategies that have been shown to be effective with individuals living with varying amounts and types of brain change. Care partners will be introduced to the ‘six pieces of the puzzle’ that may be used to help determine these contributing factors. This problem-solving approach will be presented to help learners reduce the intensity, frequency, or occurrence of challenges. This session will also help learners develop better communication skills when working with people living with dementia by emphasizing the value of empathetic and supportive communication. The overall goal of the session is to reduce or minimize unproductive conversations and resistive behaviors by using effective verbal and physical skills. Program Fee: Registration deadline is the July 29th. 6.0 CT NHA CEU's will be available to attendees. Please contact LeadingAge Connecticut at 203-678-4477 or [email protected] with any questions.
