Validation Therapy
November 2 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Free
What do you say when your loved one with dementia believes something that isn’t true, asks for someone who has passed away, or insists they need to go home?
Do you correct them? Try to explain? Change the subject?
The Validation Method teaches us how to respond to the feelings behind a person’s words instead of arguing about the facts.
Rather than correcting, convincing, or trying to make someone understand, you’ll learn how to help your loved one feel heard, respected, and emotionally safe.
