Living with Dementia workshops in Bolton, Manchester, Oldham
emPoWereD conversations workshops in Bolton, Manchester, Oldham
A series of workshops in Bolton, Manchester and Oldham are being held for family members caring for those with dementia.
Entitled emPoWereD conversations, the workshops have been developed by Six Degrees Social Enterprise in partnership with the Institute of Dementia at the University of Salford.
The workshops will cover:
- What it feels like to talk to someone with dementia
- What gets in the way of having a good conversation?
- Simple to use tips to start conversations
- What gets in the way of good listening?
- What's said without words?
- What have we learnt and should we change?
The approach is more than just tips and tricks; it looks at how our emotions, thinking and attitudes can transform the quality and enjoyment of communicating with people with dementia.
