I attended The Journey of Dementia: What the Family is Experiencing webinar presented by Tammy — I'd just like to say it was a very new and refreshing perspective. Over the past six months I have attended many online classes/courses/sessions on Alzheimer's/Dementia/Caregiving in order to keep current, refreshed, and in tune so I can provide better caregiver support. When you take a lot of classes, many are review and information is often presented very similarly. However, this was the first session I've attended that was from the perspective of the caregiver(s) and family. Very different, very effective, and fills a gap.
"All of the information I received will be a big part in me being a care partner"
"You never know too much. I learned a lot today and will practice the teacher’s methods."
“Very dynamic speaker and I learned a wealth of information.”
"Loved the interactive approach of the training. I learned many concepts of redirecting my clients and making my life as a caregiver easier. Loved this training."
"I really loved the way the speaker shared her experiences to make it personal."
