By the end of this training, participants will be able to: define anosognosia, identify three characteristics of this condition, and how it can affect a person living with dementia. They will be able to describe how the characteristics of this condition make it difficult to recognize and are often labeled as conscious negative behaviors. Hearing from people living with dementia who experience anosognosia, the learner will be able to describe anosognosia from the perspective of someone experiencing it and extract actionable lessons applicable to participants' own personal and professional lives. Participants will leave the webinar with ways to problem solve, approach conflict, and improve communication with someone experiencing anosognosia related to dementia.

This webinar is part of Exploring Dementia: “Nothing About Us Without Us” DAA Educational Series. Dementia Action Alliance (DAA) seeks to deepen understanding about pressing and emergent topics related to dementia through hearing the voices of those living the experience and providing a space for open discussion and collaboration. Through these efforts, DAA is creating a better society where individuals and their families can live well without stigma and misperceptions. Research shows that the majority of people living with dementia or mild cognitive impairment show signs of this condition and it causes distress for all care partners, including the person experiencing it. Knowledge and understanding of what anosognosia can look like, what lived experience can look and feel like, and recommendations on how to support people experiencing this condition will provide the participants with actionable ways to change how they partner in care with people living with dementia. Professional care partners can experience misunderstanding and conflict with people that they support leading to burn out and trouble with staff retention. This webinar supports staff care partners in understanding the difference in the experience of reality between themselves and the person living with dementia and provides different ways to approach partnering in care to decrease conflict and emotional distress.
