Title: Just Join Them: Improving Care through Improv
Presented by: Candace Kemp, Ph.D.
Date: Wednesday, April 15, 2026
Time: 12:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
Description: Do you ever find yourself unsure how to respond to patients living with dementia? Clinicians and other providers who have the most success communicating in the dementia care context often use strategies that mirror the flexibility, adaptability, collaboration, and creativity used by skilled improvisers. This session introduces key concepts from “Improving Care through Improv,” an innovative, evidence‑informed training program that blends foundational improv skills with practical approaches to interacting with people living with dementia. Learn how techniques like “yes, and…,” grounded in acceptance, joining, and collaboration, can enhance communication, reduce frustration, and make clinical encounters more effective and meaningful.
