Dementia Awareness
Dementia touches almost every part of care work. This course helps you understand what dementia really is, how it changes the way a person thinks, feels, and communicates, and — most importantly — how to support someone living with it so they feel safe, calm, and respected. It's warm, plain, and built for real life. You'll come away understanding the person behind the dementia, and knowing the small things that make the biggest difference.
