Understanding Dementia (3-hour workshop)

Become more knowledgable about the dementia and how it affects you and your family and friends.

This is a must not miss event.

Dementia affects many Australian families, friends and communities, and Men's Sheds are no exception. This practical and informative workshop will help you better understand dementia, recognise the signs, and learn how to support someone living with the condition.

You'll gain a better understanding of:

• The different types of dementia and common signs and symptoms

• What it can be like to live with dementia

• How dementia may affect communication, behaviour and daily life

• Planning ahead and supporting someone to stay connected and involved

• Services, resources and where to access help and support

 Whether it's your partner, a mate, a fellow Shed member or someone in your community, this session will help you better understand dementia and learn simple ways to support them while keeping them connected to the things they enjoy.

Afternoon tea will be provided.
