Become a DAWN Dementia Trainer
Learn to teach the DAWN Method to families
Are you a certified DAWN Dementia Care Specialist? The prerequisite to becoming a teacher of the DAWN Method (a DAWN Trainer) is to first become certified as a DAWN Dementia Care Specialist (DDCS). If not, here is a link to purchase that certification course.
Because the DAWN Method is based on research-based practices, it is a revolutionary way of caring for someone who is losing cognitive skills. Unlike other dementia care training courses, you need to first become adept at using the DAWN techniques before you begin teaching them.
In becoming certified as a DDCS, you will become able to recognize and work with the specific cognitive skills kept and lost on the dementia journey. As a teacher of DAWN (DAWN Trainer), you will become skilled at leading families and care partners to recognize someone’s changing cognitive skills and the emotional needs that result when they are experiencing dementia.
If you wish to learn a different way to approaching dementia care–one that is more respectful, dignified and kind–I would like to share with you this revolutionary way of caring for someone who is losing cognitive skills.
In taking this course you’re not only learning how to do your job better, but agreeing to become part of a mission. Thank you for joining me.

DAWN Dementia Trainer Certification
The DAWN Trainer certification program is designed to train those who have been previously certified in the DAWN Method as DAWN Dementia Care Specialists. Being a medical professional or having a graduate degree is not required. You simply need experience using the DAWN Method with people who are experiencing dementia and the desire to help families and care partners learn how to provide kinder, more supportive dementia care.
DAWN Trainers serve as dementia consultants as well as teach our DAWN DementiaCoach® class to individual families live over video. All classes are taught over an 8-week period with recordings provided to the family. They can also teach long-term care employees using the DAWN Workshop.
