This training enhances participants’ understanding of dementia, with an emphasis on managing challenging behaviors. Through interactive learning activities, staff develop proficiency in applying a problem-solving approach to create effective care strategies. The main goal is to foster a consistent caregiving approach among both management and staff.
The training consists of two parts: Two 3 hour in person trainings and one virtual check in/coaching session. Zoom sessions are offered three weeks after the completion of the on-site training sessions. In this 20-30 minutes session participants share their experiences applying the knowledge and skills learned.
