provides links to training and educational materials for
professionals and volunteers working with people living
with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The

providing information on how to recognize, understand, and
meet the unique needs of people living with ADRD and their
caregivers.
The sections cover:
- Advance planning
- Aging and Disability Resource
Center training
- Caregiving
- Communication
- Dementia training
- Diverse populations and dementia
- Non-Alzheimer’s dementia
- People with dementia who live alone
- People with intellectual and
developmental disabilities and dementia
- Person-centered/family-centered
care
- Understanding behavioral symptoms.
The resource also includes
sections specific to first responders, hospital and health
care organizations, primary care providers and other health
care professionals, and school personnel.
The training resources are available free of charge and
come from government agencies, academia, Alzheimer’s
disease centers, geriatric workforce education programs,
ACL’s dementia grantees, NADRC, and others.
