Have you or someone you know been directly affected by Dementia or a similar disease?  We invite you to join us for a FREE (Members ONLY) Dementia Sensitivity Training which is specifically designed for businesses and staff members to recognize someone who most likely has Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia that may walk into their business.

How can they recognize it, how do they speak to the person, what do they do, how do they redirect? Join us to learn more!
