“NASW-PA Chapter is a co-sponsor of this workshop. 2 CEUs will be awarded for completion of this course. NASW has been designated as an approved provider of professional continuing education for social workers (Section 47.36), Marriage and Family Therapist (Section 48.36) and Professional Counselors (Section 49.36) by the PA State Board of Social Workers, Marriage & Family Therapists and Professional Counselors.”
This program is made possible through a grant from the Mechanicsburg Area Community Foundation, a regional Foundation of The Foundation for Enhancing Communities.
Description: Aggressive behaviors in dementia patients can be considered common, and while it may be comforting to know you are not dealing with an anomaly, it does not make managing the situation easier or less frustrating as a caretaker. Aggressive behaviors could be verbal or physical and, at times, come for no apparent reason. They can be sudden and identifying the trigger can place pressure on caretakers especially in a facility setting where other patients could be placed at risk.
This training will discuss causes of this aggressive behavior and share practical, effective responses to these behaviors. We will review case studies and current research around how others have successfully operated with these obstacles. We will also promote the creation of an I.C.E (In Case of Emergency) Action plan all staff can provide input to, which can be used when urgent situations occur requiring immediate attention.
Objectives: Objectives coming soon.
Facilitator: Bria Miles
