Supporting a loved one with dementia can feel overwhelming, but this workshop offers clarity and reassurance. Designed for adult children and families, it provides practical guidance on understanding dementia and planning for the future.
You will learn about the types and symptoms of dementia, strategies to support wellbeing, and how to maintain meaningful connections despite communication challenges. The session also covers care options and life planning to help families feel confident and supported.
This event is ideal for those early in the diagnosis or considering care options beyond family support, ensuring you don’t have to face dementia alone.
The workshop is led by Tamar Krebs, founder of Videri Australia, and Danielle Robertson, a care industry expert with over 38 years of experience. They will share insights on a strengths-based approach to dementia care, early intervention benefits, and practical communication techniques.
Topics include understanding dementia, early intervention, navigating care options like home care and respite, and the importance of life planning for both the person with dementia and their family.
Attendees will receive practical tools to help manage the journey ahead with confidence and support.
