About The Adaptive Caregiver Model - Train the Trainer Public Course .
Walking With, Not Ahead.
Most dementia training teaches people about dementia.
This programme teaches trainers how to transform the way people care.
Based on the bestselling book The Adaptive Caregiver Model, this unique three-day Train the Trainer programme equips experienced professionals to deliver a practical, evidence-informed approach that helps carers adapt to the individual, rather than expecting the individual to adapt to dementia.
Developed in partnership with Dementia Forward and reviewed and endorsed by Ability Training Awards, this programme is designed for organisations that want to move beyond task-focused care towards truly person-centred practice.
Rather than focusing solely on symptoms or behaviours, the Adaptive Caregiver Model helps professionals understand the person behind the diagnosis and provides practical tools they can immediately apply in care settings.
Who is The Adaptive Caregiver Model - Train the Trainer Public Course for?
Whether you’re an experienced trainer, dementia lead or organisation looking to improve the quality of dementia care, this programme will equip you with the knowledge, confidence and practical tools to deliver meaningful learning that makes a genuine difference.
Join us this October and help transform dementia care by teaching people to walk with, not ahead.
