The Alzheimer’s Association of MA/NH is hosting two training opportunities in May with a goal of educating Fire and EMS personnel on the impact that Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias may have on individuals and communities.
This program has been developed specifically for Fire and EMS. Strategies acquired from this training will provide an understanding of Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias, and will help personnel optimize the effectiveness of responding during interventions with persons living with dementia, and their families.
The training will be offered on two dates:
- Wednesday, May 14, 2025, 7:00 – 9:00 AM (Register here)
- Monday, May 19th, 2025, 6:00 – 8:00 PM (Register here)
The Massachusetts Healthy Aging Collaborative encourages communities working to become more age- and dementia friendly to promote these trainings to their local fire and EMS departments.
