Colleagues at Baycrest in Toronto, Canada have shared the following new tool for caregivers:

The Baycrest Quick-Response Caregiver Tool TM is intended for use by formal or informal caregivers (including family members) when trying to manage neuropsychiatric behaviors in persons with dementia.
This easy to use tool involves a reflective exercise which can be used by caregivers in real time as behaviours occur. The website contains training videos, written materials and a downloadable  pocket guide https://www.baycrest.org/Baycrest/Education-Training/Educational-Resources/Baycrest-Quick-Response-Caregiver-Tool
