Lunch N’ Learn: When Insight is Lost: Understanding Anosognosia

Why might someone living with dementia truly believe that nothing is wrong? This Lunch N’ Learn explores anosognosia—a neurological loss of awareness of one’s own symptoms—and explains how it can affect safety, communication, and caregiving. Participants will leave with practical strategies for reducing conflict, responding with empathy, and adapting their approach when reasoning or correcting is no longer effective.

Presentation is at 11:00am followed by a complimentary lunch.

Presented by Dr. Shadi Gholizadeh, PhD, MPH, MSc, CMC
