Over the years of teaching about dementia, and through owning my CNA school, one thing has become very clear to me: people learn in different ways. Some thrive online, while others do best learning face-to-face. Thatโ€™s exactly why Iโ€™m offering five different dementia care seminars this year, both in-person and virtual, so you can choose what works best for you.

If youโ€™re a CNA, healthcare professional, social worker, nurse, physician, work in long-term care, or youโ€™re just starting your CNA journey and want to specialize in dementia care, this Alzheimerโ€™s Disease and Dementia Care Seminar is a great opportunity for you.

This is an 8-hour seminar (8:30 AM โ€“ 4:30 PM) offered through NCCDP (National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners) and Iโ€™m proud to be one of their trainers.
