Dementia Education and Training VIRTUAL Seminar - 2 Evenings (3HRS Each)

Description

This seminar is two 1/2 days from 6PM-9PM each night. 

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 presented by Pastor Jeanette Jordan, M.Div., CLC, DCS, DCSCT and Founder/Pastor of Journey to the Cross Ministries and the Dementia Dignified Academy, you'll learn a ton of non-pharmacological techniques and approaches that you can put in place the next day. This certification was developed Dr. Stelter.

Through the Dementia Connection Specialist (DCS) seminar, you’ll...

• Receive a fundamental education on this disease, why behavioral expressions occur, and how to best provide engagement and care
• Learn various communication, engagement, and intervention techniques
• Become well-equipped at handling ADL care
