Dementia Awareness

Workshop • Irish in Britain

About the CPD course

This workshop /online-workshop aims to enhance knowledge of dementia from a strengths perspective informed by a social model of disability. It recognises that impairments caused by dementia are amplified by social: structural and environmental factors rather like a double amputee is disadvantaged without a wheelchair. Research shows that people living with dementia are capable of much more than is usually assumed. The workshop focuses on understanding dementia: recognising deficits but supporting the person to retain and maximise abilities and independence. The workshop equips participants with confidence to communicate and encouragement to support people living with dementia and family carers.
