The Ethics of Fibbing

A light lunch will be provided.

Therapeutic fibbing is all about bending the truth to avoid agitation and distress for an individual experiencing memory loss. Join us to discuss how caregivers can:  

• Use subtle redirection to avoid conflict.  

• Validate feelings to offer reassurance.  

• Convey emotional truths rather than factual ones.   

 It’s not about sanctioning deception. Instead, a therapeutic fib avoids the truth as an act of compassionate kindness.

We’re here to support you. Bring your loved one with memory loss to enjoy lunch with our life enrichment team while you attend the educational session.
