New Training Certification Opportunity

Become a Dementia Capable Care Specialist (DCCS)!

Insight is excited to offer a new training opportunity focused on creating a dementia capable society! Dementia Capable Care (DCC) Training gives you the tools needed to be the best caregiver for those living at different stages of dementia. This training focuses on practical solutions to preventing and de-escalating behaviors, through online learning and an in-person session to address common scenarios.

This program was developed by the Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI), a leader in evidence-based, person-centered, ability-focused dementia and de-escalation training and consulting services. CPI’s Crisis Development Model℠ and Allen’s Cognitive Levels help to optimize function and quality of life and to prevent or de-escalate distress behaviors.

What does this training cover?
  • Dementia Training: The Dementia Capable Care Model teaches caregivers how to support persons at every stage of dementia using remaining abilities.
  • Person-Centered Care Training: Shifts the care approach to focus on personhood and what individuals at all cognitive levels CAN DO, awakening their individuality, strengths, and potential.
  • Behavior Training: Provides learners with prevention and de-escalation strategies to address distress behaviors without the use of chemical or physical restraints helping to maintain safety for all.
Who should take this training?
  • This credential can be earned by any health care professional or others working in healthcare.
  • Upon completion of the full training, participants will earn the Dementia Capable Care Specialist Credential (DCCS).
  • Your DCCS verified digital credential and badge is valid for 2 years. You will receive a Certificate of Completion documenting the Contact Hours earned that may be eligible for CEUs, depending on your field.
  • Additionally, if you are a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP), this training will count towards your certification renewal.

This course is offered in a hybrid format. You are required to complete 4 hours of on-demand virtual training prior to the scheduled session. The 4 hour in-person session will reinforce and build on skills from the virtual training, helping apply what you learned through practical examples.
