Welcome to our 1-hour training on Dementia: How to work with people with dementia and Alzheimer’s. This webinar was originally presented in February 2025 as part of our ongoing monthly trainings.

This training supplements our Homeless De-Escalation Core Training. In this Dementia: How to work with people with dementia and Alzheimer’s training we will discuss:

  • Symptoms of dementia and how it impacts the brain
  • Communication “Do’s” and “Don’ts” when talking to someone with dementia
  • Tools staff can use and how to “redirect”

Upon completion of the training, your certificate will be available to save or print.

At the Homeless Training Institute, our mission is to train library staff members on how to compassionately and confidently manage problematic behavior from homeless, addicted, and mentally ill individuals.

If your library does not currently have a subscription to our Homeless Training Academy, you can request a free trial (one per organization please) by sending an email to krissie@homelesstraining.com.
