Staying in Touch

Equipping community to support all those affected by the impact of the early stages of dementia.
 
This course is specifically designed to equip those supporting individuals affected by dementia with the listening and communicating tools they need to reduce isolation and relate better to those with dementia. It also offers opportunities to meet others in a similar situation and to feel refreshed and energized.
 
The course develops a clear understanding of the dynamics accompanying dementia and identifies creative ways in which to respond to those impacted by it, and focuses on equipping community to reduce the isolation people experience.
 
Part one examines the difficult issues facing those caring for people living with the early stages of dementia and how we might give appropriate support to family members and carers.
 
Part two focuses on the importance of how we can effectively listen to and communicate with a person living with the condition.
 
Course will be held 7 March 10-4pm at Church of the Saviour.
