Improv Techniques and Dementia - Finding the Joy

Lori La Bey host of Alzheimer's Speaks Radio talks with Cathy Braxton and Tami Neumann from Silver Dawn Training Institute.  They know caring for persons with dementia brings a unique set of challenges and their Institute equips professionals and loved ones with a new way to communicate with these individuals: introspective improv. 

Known as "Dementia Raw" their approach is unscripted, unconventional and unapologetic. They deal with real-life scenarios and consider - 'the patients’ – vantage points. Their training is based on the company founders’ experience in long-term care.

Cathy is the Chief Education Officer of Silver Dawn Training Institute and Tami is the Chief Operations Officer.  Together they co-created the Dementia RAW Method. Collectively they have over 40 years of experience in the long-term care/aging industry.

Come learn and laugh with us as we discuss new ways to live graciously alongside dementia.
