This course provides participants with a broad overview of dementia care. As a caregiver, you will take part in a journey that will broaden your perspectives and validate your experiences.
The goal is to focus on how a caregiver can support a quality of life that respects the dignity, identity and needs of both the person in care and the caregiver. This kind of care is only possible in the context of a trusting and mutually respectful relationship. Participants discuss how a caregiver and a cognitively impaired person can work together to do whatever needs to be done in the course of daily living and when problems occur, to manage them together. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
