Bravo Zulu Workshop

Bravo Zulu: Achieving Excellence in Relationship-Centered Dementia Care is a four-part series that explores what it takes to get to Bravo Zulu* by providing dementia care and support that is tailored, yet flexible, to each unique elder's strengths, preferences and needs. This program also has a component that speaks to military service and its impact on the aging process. This free training is designed for family care partners (caregivers) and healthcare professionals.

*Bravo Zulu originated as a naval signal, typically conveyed by flag-hoist or radio, meaning "Well done!" Sign up for the NGEC listserv for updates on offerings and program announcements or contact the NGEC team at NGEC@unr.edu.
