What Participants Are Saying

The presentation was great. The presenter was able to communicate with everyone on all levels.

I will use this daily at work and outside of work.

I will use this to be more helpful with daily ADLs.

The information will help me to be more proactive, listen better and engage better.

This will help me to communicate respectfully with residents; Dr. G really kept my attention with his style of teaching!!

I went, one, to see the value of it to have for our whole team here. And it was a great foundation for folks to understand how to work with an aging population, how to better understand behavioral health issues as they work instead of escalating it gave some good tips to non-clinical people like our GNA’s and our, well they’re clinical, folks that might not have had extensive training in it.
