Join us on Tuesday, May 7, 2024 from 1-2 pm Eastern Time. Intimacy and sex can be very challenging subjects for guardians. There are so many personal feelings and stigmas attached to the topic, it can be difficult for even a small group of adults to agree about how others should behave. When clients show symptoms of dementia, the stakes for intimate activity get even higher.

In this 1-hour webinar, The Center is honored to conduct an interactive conversation with Dr. Nathalie Huitema, author of “Navigating Intimacy: Evolving Perspectives on Consent and Connection in the Lives of Older Adults with Dementia.”

Participants will learn:
1. The importance of physical contact and the impact of taking away someone’s intimate activities.
2. The dilemma surrounding consent when an adult has dementia.
3. How to use a new framework to understand and assess consent.
