During this course you will:

  • Understand how dementia can cause changes in behaviour. 
  • Gain skills required to understand different behaviours from the person’s point of view; what might they be feeling and communicating  
  • Develop skills to identify possible triggers for certain behaviours (for example, environmental triggers, the impact of physical pain or discomfort, and the connection to different emotions and feelings)  
  • Identify practical changes that might help prevent these behaviours and alleviate distress for the person living with dementia, and their families.  
  • Gain practical skills in how to effectively respond to and support people living with dementia who are experiencing distress, confusion, social withdrawal, or other changes in behaviour.  
  • Understand how to look after yourself, if you care for a person living with dementia, and where to access support if needed.  
  • Hear from our Experts by Experience about their experiences of living with a dementia diagnosis.
