Introducing the Facilitator Dementia Education Series: Empowering Care Through Lived Experience

We are proud to announce the launch of the Facilitator Dementia Education Series—a new training resource designed to make dementia care education more engaging, flexible, and impactful than ever before. Developed by AGE-u-cate Training Institute®, this series equips trainers, HR leaders, clinical educators, and community organizations with everything they need to deliver meaningful in-service sessions right out of the box.

Why This Series Matters

Today’s caregivers face enormous challenges. From high turnover in aging services to the growing number of families impacted by dementia, the demand for effective, person-centered training has never been greater. Too often, training resources focus only on clinical facts or compliance checklists—missing the heart of dementia care: empathy, connection, and lived experience.

The Facilitator Dementia Education Series answers this need by putting the voices of people living with dementia front and center. Each session pairs practical strategies with authentic stories, ensuring learners not only understand the “what” of care, but also the “why.” The result is training that inspires action, builds confidence, and strengthens care cultures.

What’s Included

Each topic in the series provides a complete training package that can be delivered immediately, with no extra preparation required. Every package includes:

• Dynamic PowerPoint deck for guiding engaging group sessions
• Comprehensive facilitator guide with built-in training flow
• Infographic-style participant handout for reinforcement
• Knowledge quiz to support retention and accountability
• Customizable certificate of attendance template
• And most importantly, a video of the lived experience—featuring people with dementia sharing their perspectives directly

Together, these elements create a flexible, ready-to-use format that works equally well for staff development, community education, or caregiver support programs.

The Facilitator Dementia Education Series is available as individual sessions or as a full discounted bundle. Each topic addresses a critical aspect of care:

Elevating the Voice of Lived Experience

At AGE-u-cate, we believe the true experts are those living the journey. That’s why lived experience is embedded into every session of the series. Learners hear directly from people with dementia and their care partners, ensuring training is grounded in empathy and authenticity—not just theory.

In addition, a portion of every purchase supports the Dementia Action Alliance, whose partnership and insights helped shape this series. Your investment doesn’t just equip your team; it helps amplify the voices of those who deserve to be heard.
