Bravo Zulu Workshop

Bravo Zulu: Achieving Excellence in Relationship-Centered Dementia Care program was developed in partnership between the DEER Program, Perry Foundation, and the Nevada Department of Veterans Services and delivered by Jennifer Carson, PhD. Bravo Zulu focuses specifically on veterans and military culture. This free 12-hour, person-directed, relationship-centered, comprehensive dementia care training is designed for professional and family care partners. 

The training includes four modules and a workbook for participants to use as a learner’s resource to reinforce knowledge gained and to apply information and techniques after the training. This four-part series explores what it takes to get to Bravo Zulu (which means “job well done”) by providing dementia care and support that is flexible and personalized for each unique elder’s strengths, preferences and needs. Bravo Zulu can be delivered in person over a two-day conference-style format or four, three-hour sessions. Bravo Zulu can also be delivered via Zoom™ in four, three-hour sessions.

Virtual programs are provided through a partnership with the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine’s Frontier Area Health Education Center.
