The Dementia and Challenging Behavior training program from the Iowa Geriatric Education Center (IGEC) was designed specifically for use by long-term care facilities to train their staff on how to better address the needs of persons with dementia. This intensive 8-hour program is presented in 8 units to allow learners to divide the training into smaller pieces that they can do in a limited amount of time. It has 2 audio presentations with slides and 6 interactive lessons with real-life stories. Each unit also includes printable handouts. Registering for the free training involves emailing IGEC with information about your facility and staff.
