Caring for individuals living with dementia often comes with emotional moments that can feel overwhelming or unpredictable.

Emotion-Focused Communication Training was designed to help caregivers better understand and respond to those moments.

Participants learn how to:
• Recognize emotional cues
• Manage their own responses
• Communicate in ways that build trust and connection

This 2-hour, self-paced training also offers CE credits and is backed by research showing increased confidence and knowledge.
