How does Module 2 build on Module 1?

It moves from the philosophy of compassionate touch toward practice — techniques, reading a person’s cues, and applying the approach in real caregiving.

Who benefits from this training?

Caregivers of people with dementia or nearing end of life, for whom gentle touch and presence can soothe distress and provide comfort beyond words.

AGE-u-cate, as part of its Compassionate Touch program; the video is available to stream online.
