Service Description

We don't just share facts and skills, we inspire creativity and change mindsets. The course takes students into the mind of people living with dementia. It teaches them how to meet the person with dementia where they are, and share their dementia journey in a creative and fulfilling manner. This advanced course helps learners grow personally and professionally through in depth exploration of topics of identity, personhood and human connection. Great dementia care happens when carers move from being task-focused to being person-centred. This involves more than accumulating knowledge, it demands progress in emotional intelligence and empathy. It demands a fundamental shift in perspective, from a place of power to a place of humility. The carer is invited to enter the world of the person with dementia and follow their lead, rather than assuming what is best for them. Our aim isn't for our learners to finish the course with merely more knowledge. Our aim is for them to emerge with a new perspective of themselves, of those they care for and of the connection between them. Caring doesn't stop at weekends so we offer weekend slots to maximise access. Payment is not required at the time of booking. You’ll receive an invoice after the training session has been delivered. This is primarily an online course but face-to-face delivery for block bookings can be arranged. Get in touch to find out more.
