Dementia Education and Training VIRTUAL Seminar

Description

If you are a healthcare professional or family caregiver who provides care for people with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, this seminar is for you.

In this dementia care training, you will master an innovative cognitive-behavioral approach to care called the Dementia Connection Model©, which ties together three key concepts in understanding Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia and how to provide the best quality of care. You will better understand the "who?" and “why?” of dementia to provide a quality of life for those you care for. Then, you will exercise your brain in learning how to best implement sensory-based approaches that positively influence the emotions and memories for those living with dementia, enabling positive behavior expressions and a better connection.

In this hands-on course, you’ll learn a ton of non-pharmacological techniques and approaches that you can put in place the next day.
