Dementia Friends Training Session
Thu, 09 Jul 2015 12:00:00 BST
Have you ever wondered how you can develop the know-how to help people with dementia feel better included and understood in society? The Alzhemier's Society's Dementia Friends programme is one way that this is being addressed. The aim of the programme is to create, by the year 2020, four million dementia friends.
This hour-long workshop embraces the vision of the Alzheimer's Society and will be delivered by Kevin Hall, a second-year Mental Health nursing student, who is also a Dementia Champion. The workshop will enable attendees to learn more about what it is like for people living with dementia. It is an interactive session that will challenge the ways in which we think about, talk about and understand dementia with a view to becoming a dementia friendly society.
Following the first workshop which took place on Tuesday 7 July there is another workshop taking place on Thursday 16 July. The workshop will run from 12.15pm to 1.15pm - please feel free to bring your lunch with you.
Date and Venue:
Thursday 16 July - HWG/05
