    277: You Just Had to Be There!

    Have you ever told anyone that? Chances are you said it while talking about an exciting or funny moment you experienced. Being in person for an event holds a level of energy and excitement that does not translate over into the virtual world. That's why this week, Teepa and Greg discuss why seeing Teepa in-person makes learning so much more powerful and engaging. To learn more about Positive Approach to Care, visit: www.teepasnow.com.

    273: Why Practical, Hands-On Training is So Important

    If your surgeon only watched videos on how to perform successful surgeries but never did any hands-on exercises, how comfortable would you be to undergo a lengthy procedure? The same concept applies to our care partners. If they're not equipped with a certain level of practical, hands-on skills when working with people living with dementia, the end result is not going to be a good for either party involved. This week, Teepa discusses what has to change in order for people to actually want to work in dementia care. Teepa alone can change a person's day, but it takes a team to change lives.  To learn more about Positive Approach to Care, visit: www.teepasnow.com.

    Digging into a topic that has already led to negative results, this week Teepa and Greg discuss the challenges that arise when people living with brain change related to drug or alcohol abuse are mixed in with people living with dementia. Rather than focus on the bad side however, Teepa discusses what actions are needed instead. To learn more about Positive Approach to Care, visit: www.teepasnow.com.

    271: How to Make Visits More Positive

    Bridging the gap between how to make a visit more likely to be positive and knowing about a person's history and preferences, this week's episode explores the misconception that dementia is a static disability. Just because mom used to like a certain hobby before, does not mean that she will continue to like it during her dementia journey.
