Accelerating the Integration of Be EPIC-VR in Dementia Care
Aperçu du projet
Personal support workers provide the most formal care to people living with dementia. Their formal training often does not address complex dementia-related communication impairments and responsive behaviours. The research team created Be EPIC, a dementia-specific, person-centered communication training program for frontline healthcare workers. Training includes interactive modules followed immediately by practicing newly learned skills in simulations with trained actors, reflection, and feedback.
