Exploring Dementia
52% of people in the UK know someone who has been diagnosed with dementia. Whether you are family, a friend or colleague, it is easy to feel lost in knowing the best way to approach, or what to say.
It is no wonder that people with dementia can often feel isolated and lonely.
I found the training very interesting. It totally opens your eyes and makes you rethink ways to handle a situation.
The course was very helpful. I learnt many ideas that I can use, and I will use these everyday.
I would recommend others do this course… I didn’t know anything before today about people who live with dementia. I feel I now better understand their capabilities as a result.
The course was very good. It made me look at dementia from a different side. Customer Feedback
