The goal of this class is to help you understand what someone living with dementia may be experiencing by experiencing a different point of view and learning from the person directly. It is not just about learning the tools, although the tools are helpful, it is about unlearning what you knew before and relearning human connection to offer a better way of care and connection both professionally and in your personal life as well.
