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. It is available in an in-person classroom option or in a virtual (online) option. 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 (Module 4). See the course outline on the grey text panel farther below.

What is Integrated GPA?

Integrated GPA (iGPA) is our blended GPA learning program, a flexible alternative to GPA Basics. It consists of a half day of GPA eLearning followed by a half-day of in-classroom learning ( traditional or virtual online classroom option available) that builds on your eLearning and takes place no more than a few weeks after the eLearning session.
