Engaging Brain Change: Understanding Dementia Featuring Missy Harden
Become "dementia aware" and gain a better understanding of normal vs. not normal brain changes as we age and how you can take positive action for your body and brain health. Learn about the changes that occur with Alzheimer's Disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. You will learn the "why" behind the changes in thinking and behavior you may observe in the person you care about and practice strategies and skills for better connecting and supporting a person living with brain change.
Missy Harden is a licensed Occupational Therapist as well as a Dementia Care Consultant and Educator. Professional and personal experience journeying with individuals living with neuro-degenerative change feeds her passion for lifelong physical and cognitive health pursuits.
She is committed to helping individuals and care partners navigate life with brain change due to dementia through education, care skill building, and encouraging consultative services and resources. Missy volunteers with the Alzheimer's Association as a Community Educator and The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration as a Support Group Facilitator. She is a certified Positive Approach to Care® Advanced Consultant and Trainer and partners with Dowda Senior Consultants as their Dementia Care Specialist.
