Communication challenges: Being Curious, Cautious and Courageous
About Teepa’s session: Living life with dementia inside is an ever-changing experience. Sometimes challenging, sometimes boring, sometimes overwhelming, and sometimes just fine. But it is not like it used to be, no matter how much we might wish it was so. One difficulty is that others may not experience you and your perceptions the same way you do. It is often easier for me to blame the change on you and your dementia than look in the mirror and notice how much of what is happening might be due to how I am being different or changing. With dementia, each of us is not always sure about what each person thinks, remembers, hears, sees, feels, but it is easy to react rather than respond. In this session, I will provide six puzzle pieces to help each of us consider the gifts of curiosity, caution, and courage to help when we are trying to work and live with one another and we have dementia in the house!

Note: Attending our events supports everyone connected to dementia, whether the person diagnosed, our care partners, or the professionals and research community who work to support us and improve our lives.
We charge a minimal fee of $US45 for anyone who is employed. Most will be able to claim the cost of the tickets as a tax deduction.
Students who are full time and unemployed are charged $US15 – please send proof of your student ID to [email protected]
Please note: We rely on an HONOUR registration system, and trust that if you are employed, you will not instead register as an unemployed family supporter (carer). The modest fee for this service supports your education, and also supports our work, which importantly, directly enables people with dementia to support themselves.

The Webinar is FREE for people with dementia and unemployed family care partners.
