Dementia awareness

This one day workshop is designed to benefit any organisation with staff who come into contact with people with dementia. It will increase understanding of dementia, enabling staff to better meet the needs of those living with the disease.

Using interactive and engaging exercises this workshop will offer an insight into the everyday experience of dementia, exploring signs, symptoms and the potential impact of the disease.

Topics covered

• What is dementia?
• The experience of dementia
• Supporting people with dementia
  

This workshop can be delivered to groups of between 10-20 participants, and we would encourage all staff to attend this workshop, regardless of role or responsibility. It is particularly suitable for those who have occasional contact with dementia and can be tailored to meet the needs of those working in a variety of settings.

Participants who have completed this workshop can go on to sit the Alzheimer's Society Foundation Certificate in Dementia Awareness.
