Social Isolation Risk Reductions
Teepa Snow | Positive Approach to Care

The goal of maintaining social distancing boundaries to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus is challenging for all individuals but is typically even more so for those living with dementia. This webinar will highlight the serious effects that social isolation may have on those living with brain change, including the development of depression and anxiety. The session will also discuss how to reduce these social isolation risks with activity ideas that provide meaningful connections while minimizing the potential for pathogen transmission.
