“It doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom.”

In this clip from our recent Aging in America webinar, Amy Shaw shares one powerful mindset shift that can transform how caregivers support loved ones with dementia.

“When we align our communication, our expectations, and the physical and social environment with a person’s ever-evolving cognitive skillset, both the caregiver and the loved one can experience real relief—and even joy and connection.”

This moment is just one of many practical insights Amy offered. Watch the full conversation on YouTube:

Dementia care training doesn’t need to be complicated. It needs to be consistent, practical, and actually used.

That’s exactly what the Facilitator Dementia Education Series delivers.

This ready-to-use training toolkit equips your in-house leaders to lead short, meaningful education sessions with staff, families, and volunteers. Each topic focuses on the real-world challenges caregivers face every day. From assisting with bathing to redirecting distress, these sessions give your team the skills and confidence they need to respond with compassion and clarity.

Each topic includes:
• A 5-minute lived-experience video
• A detailed facilitator guide
• Guided discussion prompts
• Printable resources
• Unlimited use at your site

It’s not a webinar or off-site training. It’s designed to be led by your team, in your environment, when and where it matters most.

“This gave me language I didn’t have before. Our entire team is communicating differently now.”
“It’s simple, but the conversations it starts are powerful.”

If you’re looking for a scalable, culture-shifting dementia training tool that actually sticks, this is it.

Let’s make training stick. Let’s make care better.
