Dementia Series: Positive Physical Approachâ„¢ with Hand-Under-Hand

February 12, 2025

Join us for a Free workshop series for those caring for persons living with dementia.

This workshop helps learners understand and recognize the Positive Physical Approach™ with Hand-Under-Hand®

The Positive Physical Approach™ (PPA) is a 6-9 step method used to approach and connect with a person living with dementia, resulting in a reduced chance of agitation and greater mutual understanding and comfort. PPA is a dynamic assessment of the other person’s willingness, comfort, and ability to engage and interact. PPA uses as many retained skills as possible in order to do with, not to when caring for someone living with dementia.

Hand-under-Hand® (HuH) is an evidence-based, research-proven care technique developed by dementia expert Teepa Snow. It utilizes the remaining muscle memory of a person living with dementia to offer comfort and initiate activity. It also enables care partners to better assist with activities of daily living, such as eating, drinking, or personal care.

Registration is required. To register, click on the Register Now button to the right and complete the form fields.

Workshops are presented by Independent PAC Certified Trainers: Denise Butler and Kim Kutner.
