Stroke and Challenging Situations: Understanding, Preventing, and Responding Effectively

About Course

This 6 to 7-hour training is aimed at support professionals (care assistants, nursing assistants, nurses, activity coordinators, senior residence companions, or home care workers). It addresses a rarely covered angle in training: how to manage difficult situations that arise daily with a post-stroke person — refusal of care, aggression, emotional crises, denial, disruptive behaviors. Far from being whims or personality traits, these situations have a precise neurological origin. Understanding these mechanisms allows one to no longer endure them but to respond with method and serenity. At the end of the training, each participant will have concrete protocols that can be applied immediately upon returning to the field, as well as tools to protect both the person being supported and themselves.
