Dementia Awareness Talk
Learning to Communicate with Dementia - we attended a powerful dementia awareness talk at Christ Church, led by our Training Manager, Carla. The session explored how space, sight and sound shape communication with someone living with dementia, and included first-hand experiences from Tsungayi. This valuable talk highlights how small changes in the way we communicate can make a big difference, reinforcing our commitment to supporting those living with dementia in our community.
