What is Dementia S&E Training?
We recognize the vital importance of including individuals living with dementia in our opportunities. Our Executive Director, a Certified Dementia Care Provider through Dementia Solutions, has actively sought and embraced global learning opportunities related to dementia education and the intersection of dementia and the arts.
With this knowledge, we developed our Dementia Sensitivity and Engagement Training for Artists to equip our actors, artist facilitators, and volunteers with the tools necessary to deepen their understanding of dementia and engage with compassion, knowledge, and creativity.
What are the benefits?
​A better understanding of dementia is forged through the arts, and arts-based tools are explored to enhance connection.

for artists with an interest in working with people living with dementia
