Better Dementia Communication Training (The How You Are to Me Approach) [FREE]

The How You Are to Me Approach utilizes ecopsychosocial (non-pharmacological) approaches to dementia care, in line with the I’m Still Here teachings, with a focus on integrating foundational improvisational teachings (Ex. “Yes, and”, the Role of Status, being in the moment, responding to what you are given, listening, and playing to the top of your intelligence). We believe that those living with dementia still retain their personality and the essence of who they are, regardless of if they can remember a specific moment in their past, and that by modifying the way we communicate we can both provide those individuals with a fuller life and create tools to improve the relationship they have with all those around them.
