About GPA

GPA education is for EVERYONE who works with older adults!

What is GPA Basics?

GPA Basics is an innovative dementia care education curriculum based on a person-centred care approach. Designed for interdisciplinary point of care staff across healthcare sectors, GPA Basics is delivered as four modules over a 7.5-hour day. The session is evidence-based, interactive and practical. Two GPA Certified Coaches guide participants to fully understand responsive behaviours in order to be able to respond effectively and appropriately in a workplace setting. GPA Basics also includes respectful self-protective and gentle redirection technique for use in situations of risk. See the course outline on the grey text panel farther below.

What is Integrated GPA?

We also have a blended GPA learning program, a flexible alternative to GPA Basics, known as Integrated GPA (or iGPA). It consists of a half day of GPA eLearning followed by a half-day of in-classroom learning (virtual or traditional) that builds on the eLearning no more than 6 weeks later. To learn more about iGPA, including a course outline, follow the link below.
