Social and Emotional Wellness Fun and Function Model

Beth Wint is dedicated toward helping people diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer's find emotional and social wellness. Her parents were responsible for helping Beth find her passion, as they were role models who also took care of others in times of need.

Beth works with residents with various cognitive disorders and strives to help them become mentally and physically at ease in their environment. According to Beth, when a person is feeling a little lost it will reflect in their body language and their entire spirit will seem wound-up. Creating a trusting environment that is social and fun helps to relieve stress and helps to bond residents to other residents where they find their social connection again. Beth's experience reveals that a trusting social environment allows people to breathe, talk and feel at home again.
