Trauma As It Affects the Person with Dementia and You – Sponsored by All Seniors Care

June 9th 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Zoom

 

Be inspired and learn tools and strategies as experts in the field of trauma provide insight and suggestions on:

  • how past trauma can affect the actions and behaviours of people with dementia
  • strategies for caring for someone who might have had experienced trauma
  • how the experience of living through the pandemic influence our emotional and mental health as care providers moving into the future
  • what steps should healthcare providers do now to take care of their emotional well-being

Margaret will share her personal story of trauma and how she turned that around to allow her to engage in meaningful research and clinical work.
