When someone is refusing care, becoming distressed, or can no longer find the words they need, how you communicate matters more than anything else. This course gives you the strategies to handle those moments with confidence, consistency, and compassion.
Provide Support to People Living with Dementia is built for the reality of care work: the time pressures, the personal care moments, the family conversations, the behaviours that are hard to understand. You’ll learn what dementia does to communication, and exactly how to adapt your approach at every stage.
