The DICE Triad represents the interconnected relationship of three important groups of factors that can contribute to problem behaviors with dementia. These factors are related to: the person with dementia, the caregiver, and the environment. By considering all factors, more effective results in managing behaviors in dementia are possible.
The DICE Approach training program includes:
- Training videos narrated by Dr. Helen C. Kales, a board-certified, fellowship trained geriatric psychiatrist, accomplished researcher and expert in the assessment and management of BPSD
- Case-based "e-simulations" so that you can practice what you have learned
- A DICE worksheet that can be downloaded and printed for daily use
- The official DICE training manual companion (sold separately)
The DICE Approach training will educate caregivers about the proper role of medications for patients with BPSD:
- What are the only three first-line scenarios for medication use?
- Risks and benefits seen with commonly used drugs in dementia
- Why medications in dementia should be broadened to include non-psychiatric medications

FAQs
QuestionHow to contact the DICE Team if you encounter issues with the website?
Answer

QuestionWhy is the subscription period one year?
Answer
The DICE Approach subscription is one year so that caregivers have ample time to complete the training modules, or to redo them if they need a refresher. We have limited the period to one year because our experience is that once caregivers become familiar with the method, they are able to do it on their own, especially when partnered with The DICE Approach manual and worksheet.
