Anosognosia—an impaired awareness of one’s own illness or functional limitations—is one of the most challenging and misunderstood symptoms across dementia care settings. This webinar provides participants with a clear, evidence-based understanding of anosognosia, its neurological basis, and its impact on daily decision-making, safety, and family dynamics. Participants will learn practical, person-centered strategies to assess anosognosia, adapt care plans, and support families who may misinterpret the condition as denial, stubbornness, or resistance. Real-world scenarios and communication approaches will equip care teams to reduce conflict, enhance safety, and promote dignity for individuals living with dementia.

At the completion of the course, participants will be able to:

1. 1. Differentiate anosognosia from denial or deliberate resistance
   2. Assess the presence and severity of anosognosia
   3. Apply person-centered, non-confrontational communication and environmental strategies
