Working with Non-medical and Medical Providers

  • Profile of the disease and its terminologies, its course, characteristics, and therapies;
  • Caregiving techniques, focusing specifically on the needs of pwps;
  • How to avoid risk situations in the home environment for pwps;
  • Working effectively with spouses and family members of pwps; and
  • How to develop successful support groups and leader training.
