TEEPA SNOW AND THE POSITIVE APPROACH TO CARE

There are 3 things that Teepa Snow's videos are really good for (find her online at her website Positive Approach to Care or on youtube:

1.  gaining awareness and knowledge

2.  seeing another person's perspective

3.  introducing you to skills you can use immediately = hand under hand, GEMS state model, etc.

​

Remember...do you as the care partner want to be right or do you want this situation to work??
