In this presentation, how we view and speak about dementia will be reframed. Instead of defining the experience by the disease itself, we can focus on the person – who they are, what matters to them and how we can maintain their dignity at every stage. The language we choose has strong influence on our perceptions: it can either restrict us to a view of doom and decline or uplift, honour your strengths and foster compassion, connection and hope. This session will promote a more humane narrative that sees the person before the condition and reminds us that dignity is preserved and enhanced through the way we speak, act and care.
This event is open to City of Gosnells resident aged 55+.
