“My expectations were met three-fold. Your training was validating, boosted my confidence, reinforced strategies and music, especially for people with dementia. It was more in-depth than other trainings I’ve taken, especially the relational approach to the work, and for people with greater dementia. I appreciated the resources, your sharing what and how you do the work, and especially videos we watched together, particularly from groups you’ve led.”

Improve your skills, competence, and confidence to communicate effectively with persons with dementia through an embodied approach.
Learn to create an emotionally safe and supportive social environment for people with dementia. We will teach you to read nonverbal communication and make your intentions clear through your conscious use of movement.
“Staff members have a new perspective on people with dementia and their role in improving residents’ lives. Staff have learned to offer a resident their hand, move more slowly, and bring a quieter presence. Residents are participating more in their daily activities.”
