    This looks very interesting and as noted in the article will be available in October. It is a wonderful format for caregivers who have limited stretches of time and can reach many people is isolated places or conditions.

    I wish him luck in Nonpharmacologic management of behavioral symptoms. I can't conceive of getting thru DW's current phase without Lorazepam

    Haven't looked at the course but I agree with you Marty. No way couldn't I have hubby at home with his rages without good drugs.

    I must have missed something. I couldn't find where the article discussed nonpharmacologic management of symptoms. I thought I was linking about on online course coming up in October. Sorry if I flubbed up; I will try to figure it out.

    There is a mention of nonpharmacologic management of behavioral symptoms. But this does not necessarily mean no medications. Sometimes meds don't work, have horrible side effects or are used without trying other methods. My wife is on various pharmacologic meds but it is also important for other non-med ways of dealing with her behavior. Such as the ALF keeping to her room cleaning schedule.
