This web seminar provides an overview of the concepts of conflict escalation, prevention, and management within older adult populations. Seminar content includes case studies and interactive exercises that help participants learn how to cope with a lack of consensus and differences in interpretation, while using cognitive behavior techniques to change negative responses and create positive resolutions.

Participants in this web seminar will be able to:

• Identify and consider the impacts of depression, delirium, and dementia upon conflict situations;
• Adopt effective strategies and heighten awareness so as to prevent conflict;
• Use nonverbal de-escalation techniques to improve older adults’ comfort levels in a conflict situation, helping them to communicate effectively; and,
• Understand how changing one’s personal perception of a conflict situation can help calibrate communications to be more empathetic and collaborative.
