Teepa Snow, one of the leading educators on dementia and the care that accompanies it, founded the PAC method to support and engage people experiencing changes in brain function. PAC Mentors will lead the course at USI, giving participants the opportunity to enhance their dementia knowledge and build the practical skills needed to train other members of their team.
All certification costs for the course will be paid by the USI GWEP, and lunch will be provided between noon and 1 p.m. on both days. Continued education is offered for free.
