Abstract:
This workshop explores the integration of advanced EEG mapping technology with the Gentle Teaching framework to enhance the quality of life for individuals. By leveraging data-driven insights into cognitive strengths and vulnerabilities through EEG mapping, this session emphasizes how caregivers and practitioners can implement value-based interventions rooted in the eight fundamental human values of Gentle Teaching: Bodily Integrity, Feeling Safe, Feeling Self-Worth, Having a Life Structure, A Sense of Belongingness, Social Participation, Meaningful Daily Activities, and Inner Contentment. Participants will gain hands-on experience in developing personalized care plans that go beyond cognitive assessments to address holistic well-being, fostering relational connection, safety, and personal growth.

Workshop Description:
The session is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of using EEG mapping to identify key areas of cognitive strength and vulnerability, followed by practical applications of the Gentle Teaching framework to enrich lives holistically. Attendees will learn how to interpret EEG data, integrate this knowledge with human values, and create meaningful, personalized treatment plans. Case studies and interactive exercises will demonstrate how blending scientific data with compassionate care principles transforms caregiving into a journey of mutual respect, trust, and growth. Join us to discover how data-driven insights, when coupled with relational and value-based care, create transformative, meaningful moments for individuals and caregivers alike.
