This was an excellent training that helped me better understand dementia and how to communicate with compassion and respect. I especially appreciated the focus on seeing the person before the diagnosis, the five key messages, and the practical communication strategies. This training will help me in my volunteer work and in supporting older adults, caregivers, and my community. Thank you for providing this valuable program.
