Dementia care providers often face situations where patient behaviors can be puzzling and frustrating. Dr. Beth Fauth, a leading professor at Utah State University, offers a valuable perspective that can transform how we approach these challenges. Dr. Fauth emphasizes the importance of empathy. By considering the patient's viewpoint, we can better understand dementia behaviors as natural reactions to a disorienting reality. Imagine yourself in a situation where you don't recognize your surroundings or the people around you. Wouldn't you also feel anxious and agitated? Embodied Labs puts this concept into practice by incorporating first-person perspectives into our immersive experiences. By allowing caregivers to step into the shoes of those they care for, we foster a deeper level of understanding and compassion. This approach leads to demonstrably improved care outcomes, as data shows increased empathy translates into more patient-centered interactions, fostering trust and reducing stress for both patient and caregiver.

We're thrilled to share that our partnership with CCTA (Central California Adult Services Training Academy) is making a significant impact on communities across the state of California. This past week, our Director of Customer Success Emily Smith and Director Instructional Design Erin Washington joined the CCTA team lead by Rachael Castro in San Jose. CCTA's training equipped aging services staff, IHSS, adult protective services, and the Department of Social Services from Santa Clara with invaluable skills to support older adults and their families. Why it matters: • Real-World Results: This training goes beyond communication skills. It uses our immersive VR simulation to help staff truly understand the challenges faced by older adults and their families by putting them in first person perspectives.  • High Impact Learning: Our data shows that immersive training not only accelerates learning, but allows for better preparation when encountering real life situations, while being simulated in a safe, controlled learning environment.  • Empowers Caregivers: We know many social workers are caregivers themselves. This training helps them not only support clients but also improve their own communication and empathy skills at home. By partnering with CCTA, together we’ve expanded reach to train more frontline workers, empowering them to provide compassionate and effective care. We are truly grateful for our longstanding partnership with CCTA in their work –  from understanding the challenges of aging to improving communication with clients and families, their training is truly making a difference. 

Join us today from 12-1pm ET, as our CEO Carrie Shaw joins PsychU to discuss The Agitation In Alzheimer’s Screener For Caregivers (AASC™). Alongside Marc E. Agronin, MD, we'll discuss how caregivers can use this new screener to recognize the breadth of agitation symptoms and facilitate conversations with healthcare professionals. During this session, presenters will provide a didactic overview and engage in role-playing scenarios to illustrate how community caregivers can use the AASCTM to facilitate a conversation with their health care provider (HCP).
