We are developing a training plan that utilizes a learning collaborative approach to strengthen the crisis response system and enhance the ability of Crisis Interventionists and community partners to provide dementia-capable services.

The following are goals have been outlined in the grant proposal:

-To improve professional understanding and awareness of dementia. This will be accomplished by holding a training with guest speaker and geriatric specialist, Dr. Suzanna Waters-Castillo.

This will be accomplished by holding a training with speakers from ADRC, Corporation Counsel, and Wood County Human Services.

-All APS (Adult Protective Services) workers will become certified to administer the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) tool.

-Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) and Crisis Intervention Partners (CIP) trainings will be offered.
