We recognize the vital importance of education and training and have created two curricula to address this need. We offer training designed specifically for healthcare professionals and another for the general public to learn more about dementia and how to navigate the murky areas it often entails.
Navigating the Challenging World of Dementia and Abuse Prevention
The target audience for this informative presentation is anyone seeking further understanding of the dementia disease process and the challenges it presents. Also discussed are resources available to help navigate the uncertain pathway, as the disease unfolds. Steps to follow, questions to ask, available resources to enlist will all be discussed.
Dementia and Abuse Prevention: How Can YOU Make a Difference?
This training is a unique, impactful, and dynamic presentation unlike the standard programs currently being utilized in today’s healthcare industry. The training will allow the participants to experience the dementia disease process through the lens of those afflicted with the disease, and those suffering through it as active observers.
This program includes:
- Overview of dementia and Alzheimer’s
- Manifestations of dementia
- Types of abuse
- Abuse prevention
- Necessary legal changes
