Understanding Dementia Better:
During this session, our expert training team will support you to understand dementia better, offering you small and easy steps that can make a big difference.
The 2-hour sessions are informal, and a great opportunity to meet and learn from other people in similar situations to you.
We actively encourage questions, which you can ask during the session or send to us before-hand.
You can expect to understand,
- The common symptoms of dementia.
- How dementia can affect the senses, communication and behaviour.
- The importance of seeing the person before the condition.
- Practical ways to connect with a person with dementia.
- Strategies to overcome communication barriers.
- Solutions for adapting the environment.
- The benefits of a connection with nature and the outdoors.
Following the session, we will send you an email with a link to resources we mention throughout the session.
