Dementia Care Champion Courses

The Champion Courses are designed to guide care partners in developing an awareness about how brain changes impact people's everyday experiences and how our approach impacts this experience. In this workshop, we will explore the role of the care partner in enhancing the quality of life for people living with dementia. By building skills specifically to meet the needs of the person we are providing cares with, we enhance the experience for staff and the person living with dementia.
