About this event

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.

Organised by

Changing perceptions of dementia.

At Effro, we believe that recognising the needs, preferences and individuality of each person living with dementia creates opportunities for a better life. we work with individuals to explore the things they’re interested in. We provide a safe and supportive framework for people living with dementia to focus on the most enjoyable aspects of their lives: reflecting on happy memories, revisiting favourite places and reigniting personal passions.

We offer a variety of support services to individuals living with dementia in communities throughout South Wales, and provide practical advice and resources to support anyone looking to provide activities or group sessions for people living with dementia.
