24.01.2022 FREE NATIONAL WEBINAR Presented by Brendan McCormack, and Hosted by DTA Human Flourishing: Bringing new meaning to living with dementia ... WHEN: Thursday, 19 November 2020 6:00pm NSW/VIC/TAS 5:00pm QLD 5:30pm SA 4:30pm NT 3:00pm WA Person-centred dementia care is taken for granted in much of the dementia literature, yet it is difficult to imagine an argument against person-centred dementia care in intention at least. But what does it really mean for persons living with dementia, their care partners and care workers? Like all useful concepts, its simplicity can be complex! Professor Brendan McCormack will make the case for person-centredness to be a core philosophy for everything we do, for us to think about person-centredness at every level of decision making and for us to seek every opportunity to make it ‘real’ in everyday acts.

09.01.2022 ENVIRONMENT WEBINAR SERIES Presented by Nick Seemann, Tara Graham Cochrane & Lyntara Quirke, and Hosted by DTA Meaningful Engagement Outdoors... WHEN: Wednesday, 18 November 2020 10:00am WA 11.30am NT 12:00pm QLD 12:30pm SA 1:00pm NSW/TAS/ACT/VIC During the COVID-19 pandemic, many residents have had little contact with friends and family and have spent a lot of time within the boundaries set by a care environment. It has become even more important to find ways to use the environment to enable and encourage residents to do things that are meaningful to them. This webinar series involves two sessions that will look at how we can use what we have to create opportunities for interaction and enjoyment. The first webinar will look at meaningful engagement outdoors (18 November). It will address our need to get outside, be active and enjoy the fresh air. We will introduce ways that a good environment can support people to make choices, use retained abilities and engage in outdoor activity that is meaningful to them.

It’s often misunderstood and has differing complexities compared to older people living with dementia. Understanding the experiences and needs of young people living with dementia, recognising the barriers to best practice care and embracing pragmatic strategies to quality care, are all key to ensuring people living with Younger Onset Dementia live meaningful and fulfilling lives.
