Positive Approach to Care® (PAC) Workshops for

family care partners

This six-part workshop is designed to help participants:

Discover an appreciation for what happens when a brain is changing due to some form of dementia rather than normal aging or high stress lifestyles. By understanding what happens to the brain in development and in dementia, we can begin to understand not only what is lost, but what is retained, to provide that ‘just right’ support

Be introduced to the GEMS® State model of the progression of dementia, and how we can adapt our approach to create positive relationships
Practice focusing on the adaptation of identifying and offering visual, verbal, and touch cues to approach and connect with a person living in any state of dementia through the Positive Physical Approach®
Learn how we as care partners can become advocates for people as relationships and tasks of daily living are impacted

Rayna Neises understands the joys and challenges that come from a season of caring. She helped care for both of her parents during their separate battles with Alzheimer’s over a thirty-year span. She is able to look back on those days now with no regrets – and she wishes the same for every woman caring for aging parents.

To help others through this challenging season of life, Rayna has written No Regrets: Hope for Your Caregiving Season, a book filled with her own heart-warming stories and practical suggestions for journeying through a caregiving season. Rayna is an ICF Associate Certified Coach with certifications in both Life and Leadership Coaching from the Professional Christian Coaching Institute.

She is prepared to help you through your own season of caring. Learn more at ASeasonOfCaring.com and connect with Rayna on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
