Dementia Wellness Workshop by Group Homes Australia at Queenscliff Surf Life Saving Club
Have you or someone you know been recently diagnosed with dementia?
Join us for an educational session hosted by Group Homes Australia’s Founder, Tamar Krebs, together with Dr Helena Popovic MBBS, a world-leading authority on brain health, positive ageing, and dementia prevention.
We will share innovative strategies and tools to enhance quality of life beyond a diagnosis of dementia. We’ll also explore GHA’s strengths-based approach, which uses cognitive ramps to support someone to live their best life.
Other topics include:
- Understanding Dementia – we delve into the various types of dementia, their symptoms and risk factors and how the GHA strengths-based approach helps you think about dementia differently.
- Communicating and Connecting – understanding the complexities of communication challenges, including language and memory loss, plus exploring methods to foster meaningful connections.
- Human Needs – understanding each other’s basic human needs and how they can be impacted by dementia.
- Unmet Needs – here, we recognise and tackle challenges related to unmet needs for people living with dementia and offer practical ways to fulfil these unmet needs.
- Ambiguous Loss – understanding and managing the ongoing brain changes and transitions that people living with dementia will experience.
- Brain Health – how to boost your brain to reduce your risk of dementia and improve brain function after a diagnosis.
