What to expect
Learn the why. Then the how.
What changes outcomes is teaching staff the why behind the behavior, then the how of responding. That is what this seminar does, and it is the required first step toward CDP certification.
- The NCCDP curriculum leading to the CDP credential
- A full day, or two half-days
- In person at your location, or online
- Built on The Brain to Heart Connection™
- For nurses, CNAs, social workers, and care professionals
- Private seminars for teams on your date, for up to 25 staff
For organizations
One CDP on every shift.
NCCDP recommends at least one Certified Dementia Practitioner on every shift. A private cohort through your organization costs less per person, and your whole staff learns the same language for dementia care in one shared training day.
| On their own | Private cohort | |
|---|---|---|
| Seminar | $225 | $180 |
| NCCDP application | $185 | $68 group |
| Total | $410 | $248 |
For a team of 25, that is about $4,050 saved.
How Regina teaches
The Brain to Heart Connection™
Know the Brain
What dementia changes, and why behavior follows.
Hear the Message
Behavior is communication. Actions may express unmet needs.
See the Heart
The person, not the diagnosis: life story, culture, strengths, and remaining abilities.
Meet the Moment
Practical, dignity-preserving skills for refusals, distress, and communication breakdowns.
Connect on Purpose
Meaningful engagement, activities, and rituals.
Sustain the Heart
Care for the care partner, and a culture where connection lasts.
