Dementia Australia, in conjunction with The Treehouse at Kyneton Health, present two online education sessions for carers and family members of people living with dementia.
Coping with changes in behaviours – Monday 14th September
This session deals with some of the changes in behaviour caused by dementia. It will look at the impact on the brain, effects on behaviour and impacts of changed behaviour.
It will introduce problem solving models, including strategies to minimise and respond to changed behaviour.

Grief, Loss and Dementia – Monday 16th November
This session provides an overview of dementia and caring for someone who has dementia. It focuses on practical tools to manage the emotions associated with change, including loss and grief.
Both sessions are presented by Dementia Australia’s facilitators who have specialist dementia knowledge, skills and experience. These sessions are delivered interactively and you will be encouraged to share your experiences alongside other participants, giving you an opportunity to develop new support networks.
