Trauma Informed Approach to Dementia Care

This session is for professionals, family members and carers of someone living with dementia

This workshop will explore different types of trauma, and how they might impact someone living with symptoms of dementia.

We will look at some typical behaviours and symptoms of both past and present trauma that may present when triggered, as these can often be misidentified and labelled as 'aggression' or 'apathy'.

We will also look at practical support, including ideas to create safety and co-regulation and prevention of trauma responses being triggered.

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.
