The Alzheimer's Association offers a variety of educational programs to communities of faith and religious leaders.

On Site Education
We offer a basic, two-hour educational seminar that provides an essential understanding of Alzheimer’s disease, research driven information to improve communication and reduce challenging behaviors, and information about ways to improve safety and the overall quality of life. In addition, we offer further in depth education for congregations, senior citizen ministry teams, caregivers, and the local community. Much of our education provides approved continuing education units for clergy. Fee.
