Initiatives

In 2024, Straight Road International began providing oral health training and resources to older adults and caregivers across four counties of South Carolina. Straight Road is a member of the South Carolina Oral Health Action Network (SCOHAN). This initiative aimed to reinforce research indicating a connection between oral health and Alzheimer's disease, as the mouth is often referred to as a mirror of health and disease.

In 2022, Straight Road International began to deliver education workshops across South Carolina on dementia and elder financial abuse. Straight Road's "Elder Financial Abuse in the Dementia Community" training was approved by the National Association of Social Workers for 2 hours of continuing education credits.

Workshop data for the 2022-2023 cycle can be found below.
