Enhancing Care for Elderly Residents: Addressing Challenging Behaviors
Presented by Laura Vaillancourt, MA, LMHC, GMHS, Licensed Mental Health Counselor Geriatric Mental Health Specialist, Eldercare Consultant
This session explores the concept of challenging behavior, emphasizing that such behavior often arises from unmet needs or the inability to communicate those needs. It stresses the importance of understanding these behaviors and offers insights into addressing them, including reframing language, identifying triggers, and adopting a fresh and empathetic approach to caregiving for individuals with dementia.
1.5 CEUs available to all AFH Council members who attend.
