Empowered Conversations is a course that nudges caregivers to re-consider connections and communication. It generates curiosity around the actions and words of those living with dementia. It’s a space to explore emotions, self-care and what’s important in all of our lives.
Our courses are delivered via Zoom. They use discussions, group work, real life examples and sharing stories to explore, reflect and learn as a group.
The course covers the following:
-
What does it feel like to talk to someone with dementia and what might it feel like for a person living with dementia talking to us?
-
What gets in the way of you having the conversation that you want to have?
-
Simple to use tips to start conversations?
-
What’s said without words? Exploring non-verbal communication!
-
How good are we at listening?
-
Kindness to self – exploring ways to meet your own needs!
-
What have we learnt, what have we changed and what can we celebrate?
