The Dementia Journey is a comprehensive course designed to deepen your understanding of dementia from diagnosis through end of life. Grounded in research and informed by caring consciousness, you’ll explore the neurological changes that occur and how they impact language, behavior, relationships, and the body.

You’ll learn practical strategies and Dementia Care Principles to compassionately respond to the visual, auditory, physical, and communication shifts that unfold along the way — including how to navigate challenging behaviors with skill and confidence.

 

This online enrichment course encompasses reading, writing, reflection, and discussion assignments with your peers along with regular video conference calls with faculty. You will feel held and supported throughout this program and beyond.
