DAWN Workshop for LTC Facilities
This workshop contains the materials for leading groups through DAWN strength-based dementia care for long-term care employees. Students achieve certification as “DAWN Practitioners” at completion.
“The Dementia & Alzheimer’s Wellbeing Network (DAWN) Method uses some of the best researched interventions to support the loss of executive functioning and memory. Applying those interventions in a highly contextual approach with detailed knowledge of the individual, DAWN creates a respectful, personalized approach that honours each individual who experiences Alzheimer’s or Dementia. We need this method throughout the U.S. to meet the rising crisis of people needing support.”
– Patricia Sublette, PhD, Formerly Traumatic Brain Injury Consultant, Teaching Research, Western Oregon University
