This webinar provides information on best practice approaches to dementia care in the US. Specifically, content will include the clinical aspects of dementia, the care needs of persons living with dementia and their families, and the role of social work in the provision of care.

EMDR therapy has evolved into a comprehensive approach that treats problems of daily living that stem from low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and problems with self-regulation, all byproducts of complex trauma. In this workshop, you’ll learn how EMDR can be used as a relational approach treat complex developmental trauma, not just by targeting painful memories, but by creating the conditions that make it possible for the client to “go there.” As social workers, we know how an attuned “other” can help our clients feel safe enough to process painful experiences that have been previously unapproachable, making it a shared experience that transforms client and therapist alike.
