Join us for an engaging one-hour session that will explore dementia through a different lens, helping you better understand the unmet needs behind behaviours and providing practical strategies to support people living with dementia with confidence, compassion, and empathy. Behaviour tells a story. Discover how recognising unmet needs can transform the way we support people living with dementia providing simple strategies you can use with confidence.

Discover how understanding the person behind the behaviour can improve communication, reduce distress and enhance compassionate care.  Whether you’re new to volunteering or have years of experience, this interactive session will provide practical tips, greater confidence and a deeper understanding of dementia to help you make an even greater difference to the people and families you support.
