About the Seminar
The 8-hour Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Care (ADDC) Seminar provides a comprehensive introduction to understanding dementia and its impact on individuals and families. Designed to equip participants with essential knowledge, the seminar explores the complexities of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, offering a solid foundation for caregivers, healthcare professionals, and anyone supporting those living with these conditions. Through evidence-based techniques and practical strategies, attendees will learn how to address common challenges and provide compassionate, effective care.
