T.E.A.M. Offered at the Association The educational program, “Training Employees for Alzheimer’s Management” (T.E.A.M.) has traditionally been offered for staff within facilities. This spring our program director, Rita St.Pierre offered this program to individuals at the Association offices, 245 Waterman Street in Providence. Also, a facility may send a few staff for the training at our offices, rather than having training on-site at their facility. The program is offered in the 5th floor conference room. The cost for the program is $25 per person, and a minimum of 10 participants will be required for the program to be held. The format was well received so Mrs. St.Pierre will schedule more programs in the future, at different times.Any individual who works in long-term care and would like to receive this training may register. If a facility would like to schedule this program on-site, that is still available for a fee of $300 for up to 25 staff.
Please contact Rita St. Pierre , Program Director if you need further information or assistance regarding any program.
