Effective communication in Dementia

This 2-hour in-person workshop is designed specifically for carers to give you practical tools to connect and communicate with your loved one with confidence.

Understand how dementia changes speech and comprehension over time, helping you make sense of why your loved one might struggle to find words or follow long conversations. Discover simple, everyday ways to adapt your speaking style, use non-verbal cues, and listen more effectively to reduce frustration for both of you. Gain gentle, reassuring tips to manage daily stress, interpret the feelings behind the words, and protect your own well-being.
