" Great presentation! I've been to many PESI workshops and this was one of the best. I am a psychologist working in long-term care facilities and would LOVE to see this information in a training for facility staff. They are quick to ask for medications to solve problems they are actually creating with an approach that doesn't work. Education about these issues is a gigantic need! " — Sharon D.

" I gained a new perspective in understanding dementia and behaviors. I appreciate his expertise and will apply this new perspective to my staff training and caregiver education piece. " — Katherine P.
