ASA Webinar: Enhancing Self-Efficacy in Persons Living with Dementia

Event Start Date: June 26, 2018 - 5:00 PM EDT
Event End Date: June 26, 2018 - 6:00 PM EDT

Few attributes of personhood are more zealously protected than self-determination, and few fears more troubling than the fear of losing independence. For people with dementia this can be particularly intense. Using stories taken from experience, Dr. Wehry will illustrate why preserving autonomy and enhancing self-efficacy in people with dementia are important. She’ll discuss ways professionals can support individuals living with dementia—and their families—in making decisions, even in the context of diminished decision-making capacity.
