Throughout the course, participants learn about the various types of dementia, symptoms, and how the condition progresses. Emphasis is placed on understanding the emotional, psychological, and practical impacts of dementia, as well as effective communication techniques and strategies for providing support and care. Legal and ethical considerations in dementia care are also covered, along with promoting dignity, independence, and quality of life for those with dementia. Additionally, participants explore available community resources and services, learn to manage challenging behaviors, and understand the importance of person-centered care and dementia-friendly environments. Upon completion of the course, participants typically receive a Level 2 Award certification in Dementia Awareness, which can be beneficial for those working in healthcare, social care, or other fields where they may interact with individuals living with dementia.
