Demystifying Dementia – educational sessions designed to support families living with dementia
GHA’s Demystifying Dementia educational sessions support people living with dementia and their families and friends. Over three hours, we share innovative strategies and tools to improve quality of life beyond a diagnosis of dementia.
During the sessions, we explore the concept of Rementia – a strengths-based approach using cognitive ramps to support someone to live their best life.
Sessions are provided on a complimentary basis and include afternoon tea or a light supper.
