The Dementia Communication Specialist workshop is based on the four pillars of empathy and the four main rules of improv, which are the foundational concepts of this training, with the goal of achieving positive outcomes for everyone.
 
In preparation for the four hour workshop attendees will be asked to jump into the reality of dementia by engaging in your choice of Dementia Perception Challenges which will be supplied at the time of booking. 
During the workshop you will be asked to dig deep within yourself. We encourage vulnerability and open discourse with the participants in order to learn from each other and our collective experiences.
 
Topics will include:
Perspective taking
How to stay out of judgement
Understanding emotions both verbally and non-verbally
Communicating your understanding of emotions
How to relinquish your agenda and make your partner look good
The Yes, And… rule, and the ‘Gifts’ provided to us by the person living with dementia
 
By immersing yourself in this training, you will gain new perspectives and insights that will guide you in confidence & knowledge and empower your communication with the person living with dementia.
We focus on creating connection and simplifying communication.
