Communicating with someone living with dementia

This session is for family members and unpaid carers of someone living with dementia, as well as those who work in health and social care.

We will be looking at ways of increasing positive communication with a person living with dementia, and tips on how to do this. We follow a strengths based approach and focus on a persons needs, strengths and desires.

We will also explore methods of navigating and helping with distress and look at understanding behaviours.

Please note: Our sessions are not webinars. They are small, interactive workshops with the opportunity to participate and get involved. We ask that people attend with cameras and microphones on where possible, but understand if you are unable to do this.

Effro is a small charitable organisation and therefore if you are unable to attend, we would appreciate if you could let us know so we can make the space available to someone else.
