Recognizing the need to respect each resident’s “personhood” and how to interact in a way that responds to the individual’s needs, diagnosis and background, and getting to know them and their “triggers” in order to avoid responsive behaviours in the first place 2. Translating what the resident is trying to communicate with those around him or her, to avoid turning agitation into a challenging behaviour. 3. De-escalating challenging behaviours if they do happen, with gentle approaches and techniques like distraction or offering recreational opportunities. 4. Only if necessary, using physical techniques specific to working with elderly people, to prevent them from hurting themselves or someone else. 200 Actionmarguerite staff that have been trained in GPA 60 Family members attended an informational meeting about GPA 288,000+ – participants across Canada in the GPA program*** Actionmarguerite - www.actionmarguerite.ca Catholic Health Corporation of Manitoba - www.chcm-ccsm.ca
