A July 2026 episode of the Dementia Care Partner Podcast, featuring dementia care educator Teepa Snow and co-host Greg, focuses on the value of having a prepared response plan when a person living with dementia shows signs of distress through words or actions. The episode uses a water-rescue framework — reach, throw, go — as an analogy for thinking through response options in advance. The podcast's associated training organization, Positive Approach to Care (PAC), offers related courses for family care partners and professionals.
The episode is aimed at people who care for someone living with dementia, whether at home or in a professional setting. According to the podcast, having a plan before a distressing moment arises can affect how the situation unfolds. PAC lists three paid training options connected to the episode: self-paced Champion Courses, an ongoing Care Partner Support Series, and a Dementia Educator Certification for professionals who want to train others.
