Replacing Stigma with Understanding
April 12
Memory Care Home Solutions in partnership with Saint Louis University and the Gateway Geriatric Education Center will be offering a CEU-accredited training course and seminar for health professionals and care partners.
Join us at THE HEIGHTS Community Center for a full-day in-person continuing education event to explore the landscape of dementia care as it evolves with the pioneering of new pharmacological treatments and federal approval of the new GUIDE care model.
The workshop will give learners an in-depth analysis of current and upcoming treatments and highlight the interdisciplinary approach needed for comprehensive dementia care. Attendees will learn from expert speakers in the fields of neurology, pharmacy, occupational therapy and social work, as well as the true experts in dementia care — people living with the disease themselves and their care partners.

2024 Summer Geriatric Institute Cognitive Stimulation Therapy Practitioner Training
June 6-8
In its 35th year, the Saint Louis University Summer Geriatric Institute is an annual continuing education event for practitioners, faculty, fellows, residents and students who are or will provide care and services to older adults and their families. The Institute includes lectures and workshops by an interprofessional group of practitioners and researchers on new and emerging areas of geriatric medicine and services. As an extension of the Institute, a one-day training on Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) will be offered. CST is a non-pharmacologic intervention for persons with mild to moderate dementia. The training fulfills the first requirement for CST Facilitator Certification. Both the summer institute and CST training will be offered in a hybrid format.
