This online training series on Family Involvement in Dementia Care was created by the Iowa Geriatric Education Center to help family caregivers develop the skills to act as partners in dementia care for their loved ones. Modules include videos, family interviews, hand-outs, and break-out discussions that teaches family members how to work as partners with staff in both community and long-term care settings. The ten-part series covers topics such as communicating with staff, negotiating on behalf of your loved one, asking difficult questions, managing medications, and more. Instructions are provided for how to use this series in a support group setting, along with keys to leading an effective dementia support group.
