Validate to Connect with Purpose

Tax deductible
The Validation Training Institute ’s mission is to nurture respect, dignity and well-being in the lives of older adults living with dementia and their caregivers by advancing education in the Validation method.

Validation helps people who care for older adults with cognitive decline by improving their communication with them, helping them maintain a positive relationship, and helping them feel more competent and less stressed.

Validation is the original, evidence based, person-centered approach created by Naomi Feil. It is supported by 40 years of practical experience and research and has grown into a complete, globally used, relationship-building caregiver training method.

VTI is raising funds to expand our network across the globe! Today, VTI has grown into a network of 6,477 Validation certified workers, 925 group leaders, 430 teachers and 13 master teachers, globally. There are 23 Authorized Validation Organizations (AVOs) in 13 countries across Europe, Asia and North America.
