It is our pleasure to present to you, on behalf of the International Psychogeriatric Association (IPA), this new webinar: An Update on Interventions for Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia.
Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) are the greatest challenge in dementia care. These symptoms have a negative impact on quality of life, and are associated with caregiver burnout and institutionalization. There are good options to reduce these symptoms. Behavioral and pharmacological interventions are meant to reduce the frequency and severity of BPSD.
In this webinar, experts in the field provide a review of interventions for BPSD and an update on the latest treatments.
As with all programs in the IPA Webinar Series, this presentation is intended as an educational event on topics that are timely and relevant to the field of mental health for older adults.
