Dementia changes, so we must too...

Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month

This care giving journey you are walking on can be difficult to navigate at times, especially if dementia, or another progressive diagnosis, is playing a role. It is hard, but important, to remember that the person living with brain change did not choose for this to happen.


Dementia is not a "common sense" task, and choosing to change how we approach and care for people living with brain change takes courage and practice. We are the ones with the healthy brains that have the opportunity to learn how to rewire them- so let's be brave and explore more together.


How can we support you best?

  • Consulting: This allows the care partner (you!) to learn skills in an encouraging environment without the worry of "doing it wrong". We can meet in-person, virtually, and even over the phone.


  • Coaching: Helps you in real-time situations with the person you are caring for. Together we will set goals on what to work on and we will focus on what was done well, and tips on how to reach those goals.


  • Self-Paced Online: This is a great option for care partners looking to better understand brain change, and how to support someone, that have busy schedules. If you are able to carve out time at home or on the road, these presentations may be a perfect start. Psst... we have a sale ending June 30th where you can bundle and save! See below for details.

“Wow! +, your presentation was A+, wonderful, and enlightening. You gave a wonderful overview so all the pieces fit together and specifics to supplement the information (like not arguing with people with dementia because they are already in fight-mode). Your presentation needs to be experienced by every senior in the area." ~Sally

The Champion Courses are designed to guide care partners in developing an awareness about how brain changes impact people’s everyday experiences and how our approach impacts this experience. In this workshop, we will explore the role of the care partner in enhancing the quality of life for people living with dementia. By building skills specifically to meet the needs of the person we are providing cares with, we enhance the experience for staff and the person living with dementia.

Progression of Dementia:

What Skills Remain?


Learn a new and improved approach to understanding dementia progression through focusing on what skills remain, as opposed to skills lost. Gain insight into what a person with memory loss experiences and discover how to better support your loved one.

Changing Relationships

With Dementia in the Picture


Relationships inevitably change as dementia progresses. This can be devastating and challenging as you roll through the stages of grief. Let’s talk about the changing relationship, what is normal, and what can be better.

The Language of Dementia and Finding Success: The Fish Approach


As care partners, we can find ourselves in communication snags with our loved one with dementia. Together we will untangle these challenging situations and explore new tools to help in your caregiving journey.

Our Aging & Changing Brains:

What is Typical? When to be Concerned?


What is normal and when should we be concerned? If thinking and memory problems arise, can it be something reversible? YES! Join us to find out more about the causes of these symptoms, what you can do to improve them, and how to know if it’s something more serious.
