They focus on the person and not the condition, looking at what someone can do and not what they cannot do. They believe that with the right support, people who are living with dementia can continue to do the things they love and stay active.

“I found this session was very informative, it also gave us time to ask questions and interact with the group. The presentation was very professional, I have gained a lot of new ideas and there is one I need to put into action. I appreciate the trainers, they put everyone at ease and gained our trust. The tools they delivered are very helpful and enable me to cope a bit more with my husband’s dementia.”
