SUMMARY:Positive Approach to Care™
DESCRIPTION:Are you caring for someone living with dementia? \nWe are pleased to be able to offer you the opportunity to attend a 3-session course at Chester le Street Bullion Hall full of useful information and techniques to help you to manage what can be a challenging caring role. The Course Tutor is Amy Smith from TEWV NHS Trust who has a wealth of knowledge, skills and experience to share. You will have the opportunity to ask questions, engage in discussions and learn from others. Session content will be influenced by the things you would like to discuss and will also include training in relation to the Positive Approach to Care™ The Positive Approach to Care™ concept has been developed by Teepa Snow, an  internationally renowned leading educator on dementia and the care that accompanies it. As an occupational therapist with 40 years’ experience of clinical practice Teepa Snow’s approach demonstrates how to support people living with dementia by equipping both formal and informal Carers with specific skills aimed at increasing understanding of what it is like to live with dementia. Her approach is focused on care delivery, rather than theories. Positive Approach to Care™ training focusses on what skills remain, rather than what is lost. It explains the changes in the brain and why people living with dementia may  have in a certain way and supports the care giver to appreciate what it is like to live with dementia, to accept the person with dementia is unable to change but that the caregiver can be flexible in their approach to make care giving easier by matching the approach with the specific needs of the individual.\nWednesdays November the 8th, 15th and 22nd 9:30am – 12:15pm\nBook here\nor contact Alison Dixon on 0191 500 6031 or email alison.dixon@dccarers.org\n \n
