Behaviours that challenge us (responding to emotional distress; expressions of anger & excessive walking) Hitting out in an angry way Walking around all the time Difficulty in self monitoring behaviour with others Not co-operating when being helped with caring tasks Constantly repeating the same thing Shouting out loudly Putting things in places where they cannot be found South West Dementia PartnershipEssential dementia awareness: person centred approaches

How to help Look at what else is happening when a person is behaving in a certain way Look for the emotion that the person may be feeling Focus on the person rather than the illness South West Dementia PartnershipEssential dementia awareness: person centred approaches
