About The Webinar
This isn't your typical webinar. During the hour, we will diving deep into how everyday routines, expectations, and care interactions can create cumulative demand for people living with dementia. Dr. Patricia Morris will examine the concepts of blocked trust and low-demand nursing, and discuss practical approaches to reducing demands, supporting trust, and helping prevent overwhelm and distress in residential care. Participants will have opportunities to ask questions and reflect on how these concepts can be applied in their own caregiving or professional practice. There will also be opportunities to ask questions and reflect on how the ideas could apply in your own setting.
