About the Event
Over time, people on a dementia journey may experience differing perceptions of the world, which can be difficult for others to understand. To remain connected with them as they journey further into dementia (whether caused by Alzheimer’s disease, or by other conditions) we must learn to accept changes, and seek to understand how best to navigate the challenges they bring for the person and for ourselves.
Workshop Cost includes Vegan Lunch: Euro 95
