Are you a care worker caring for someone with dementia? Are you unsure of how to approach challenging situations common to people with Alzheimer’s Disease? Do you want to provide the best care and quality of life for someone living with dementia? Do you have staff working with people with dementia? 

SafeCare BC’s Creating Connections: Working with People with Dementia workshop was developed in partnership with the Alzheimer Society of BC and focuses on person-centred care.
