Reach, throw, go. If you see someone showing signs of distress while in the water, those three options could help potentially save a person's life. The same concept applies in dementia care, as Teepa and Greg discuss in this week's episode. If a person living with dementia is showing you signs of distress through their words or actions, having a plan in place could make a radical difference in how a situation plays out.

Want to go deeper?

A plan only works if you have the skills to back it up. Positive Approach to Care® (PAC™) offers structured learning experiences that help care partners and professionals build ready-to-use strategies — so when a moment arises, you're not starting from scratch.

🔹 Build your skills: Champion Courses equip you with a practical, step-by-step approach to dementia care — including how to recognize and respond when someone is showing signs of distress.
