Honoring Personhood: The Art of Enhancing Well-being in Elders

We are all entitled to achieve our maximum potential in mind, body and spirit. That potential, our personhood, or sense of self, seems like a given state for adults. And yet, it turns out that institution as a way of life can have a profoundly detrimental effect on personhood.

Each of us deserves the opportunity for a good life every day that offers meaning and support of who we are. How can we – nursing home, assisted living and residential care providers – help those we partner with continue to be who they are? How do we create environments where people thrive, no matter what frailness they live with?

Study with an experienced facilitator to grow new eyes in seeing, new thoughts in understanding what we must know, how we must interact, and ways of behaving that reinforce each individual’s sense of self. This session will grow your abilities to work in team to truly make a difference for the elders you serve every day.
