I’m not a caregiver nor do I work in the medical field, your video popped up and I decided to watch it and I’m glad I did. You are such an amazing communicator and trainer. I gained a deeper level of empathy for others. This is your 3rd video I watched and I think I’m a better person for it.
My mom taught me to always touch someone's toes when your having to wake them. To this day I can remember her softly grasping my toes and the feeling of calmness when she woke me.
I worked in this field for over 10 years. Teepa's videos should be compulsory education before anyone steps onto the work area. Then 8 weeks in, repeat the viewing. It will reduce the turnover and educate the staff ongoing.
This Dr is not only gifted, talented and compassionate. She is also very entertaining and good actress. (If you tune in on the parts when she is enacting a dementia patient senario) she is totally convincing as someone who has the condition.
I have a traumatic brain injury & have not had access to any TBI therapy. From true beginning, I know there were problems-similar to the early signs of dementia. I have watched many of your videos and have learned ALOT about my disability from you. Thank you, Teepa Snow! You are my hero!
We are dealing with my advanced dementia mother in law. I cant even put into words how invaluable your classes have been. It has taken me from a ahhhhhh why are you being that way to a ah now I know what your doing and why teepa showed us this. Just understanding dementia takes all the stress and puts it in a smaller more manageable container. Thank you thank you thank you. Far different when it is a loved one.
I'm so typical as a caregiver in some ways: I tell myself I've got too much to do and I'm too tired to check out Teepa's videos. But everytime I watch and listen to one, I'm asking myself, "WHY did I put this off? Things could've been so much easier by now!" And the importance of making a list of our own sensory preferences for comfort! I'm starting mine today.
I'm an OT in a nursing home in Belgium working with people with dementia. I've been going through so many of your videos :) They have helped me understand my residents so much better than anything I ever learned in college! Wish I had found these 2 years before, before I started working. Oh well, never too late to learn!

Wonderful video! Also wanna add just from my specialty of psychology/mental health - attachment. Attachment is what keeps human alive and no one, especially people with dementia, can be expected to move into a facility calm when all are strange faces. I do want to acknowledgement that caregivers do wonderful work while their rights are massively underprotected and themselves underpaid. We need real investments into caregivers and domestic workers so we have the capacity to make rapport happen in these spaces and in building dementia-friendly communities.
The more i study dementia for my new caregiver career (and you are the most hands on issue instructor), the more i realize my 93 year old dad, whose mother had dementia, is quite normal if not astute for his age. Pity my controlling sister threatens him with having him “declared demented” (putting him away or just being manipulative and cruel). Don’t think i am not defending his sanity. Vehemently. In his defense I rail. In fact, it could be argued I sound...demented...kinda like the kooky congress. Gotta learn to chill if only for my sake. Thanks again.
excellent and thank you. No matter how much I study and learn, there is always more. I do appreciate Teepa. No one like her. Exactly what I need to do - study - learn. I'm so grateful to you Teepa. What I sense I learn most is COMPASSION 'through' AWARENESS and UNDERSTANDING.
Who in the world would give these videos a thumbs down! Best resource for your toolkit and a definite blessing to have. Thank you Teepa.
#4 is so hard for me, our father raised us and my mom lived a crossed the country. It’s many learnings for me EVERYDAY now that she has moved in with me.
I would approach touching a person just as I would a horse. You want them always aware of where you are, slow and calm and gentle but firm. This is excellent stuff. Thank you.
I wish more people would take & apply ur teachings. Life for a Dementia client would be improved by a thousand. I luv you & follow u with all me heart. Ty for all you do to make a better world for people
Your teaching skills are phenomenal. Thank you.
This made me cry. When you were talking about what people need to survive, the comfort, the pain, and how it can literally kill you...all I could think was I am 43 years old and I have had all of these things happen to me. I have had pain that I could not take anymore (and got no relief) after a car accident. I have been so uncomfortable and scared and confused, I didn't want no one to be near me. Then I thought about in 20 or God willing 30 years....is this what I have to face? Will I be in pain, even more, all the time? Will I be afraid all the time? I'm blessed right now because I can talk myself out of those thought patterns. I can tell myself it hurts but you aren't dead yet, thank God. I can say, it's okay we can get over here and take care of ourselves. I doubt anyone with dementia can do that. Even if they could, would they trust the world around them enough to have the confidence to do that? Thank you for this educational series.
I don’t even know anyone with dementia but watching you wake Sharron up made my heart well up a little.
Thank you for this education- I hope in the future that there will be either more prevention and more treatments available for dementia or else all of the caregivers have this training! I’m writing my love/hate lists now ‘just in case’! If I ever get a cramp in my leg I always think of how awful it must be not to be able to communicate that to someone-you would be crying with the pain. And there are worse of course-heartbreaking disease. 😢
