Business Training

​

The Dementia Friendly @ Work training is a one hour educational session for staff of business and service organizations and all other community settings.  Originally developed by Dementia Friendly America (DFA) partner ACT on Alzheimer's, the training focuses on understanding dementia and taking action to create an environment that is safe, respectful, and welcoming for people living with dementia.
