Steinbacher, Goodall & Yurchak Staff to Use New Certifications to Bring Alzheimer's and Dementia Education to Other Area Professionals
Attorney Julie E. Steinbacher and Kristin Daugherty, Long-Term Care Planner are now Certified Alzheimer’s Disease & Dementia Care Trainers® through the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners.
Julie and Kristin traveled to Tempe, Ariz., earlier this year to meet with over 75 other leading elder law attorneys and key staff from across the nation. Presentations focused on Alzheimer’s and dementia planning; employee engagement in elder law firms; creating dementia friendly environments and included two options for dementia care certification training with the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners (NCCDP).
Julie and Kristin plan to use their knowledge, experience, and training to help our communities by education and offering to train other professionals toward certifications such as Certified Dementia Practitioner®. There are currently four staff members from Steinbacher, Goodall & Yurchak that hold this certification, including three that received it recently.
