We today had a presentation by our colleague Rachel Efetha. Rachel has recently undergone training through the Alzheimer’s Society on raising awareness about Dementia. The presentation was interactive and even included a game of Bingo!
The presentation reminded us of these five key messages:
- Dementia is not a natural part of ageing
- Dementia is caused by diseases of the brain
- It’s possible to live well with dementia
- Dementia is not just about losing your memory – it can affect thinking, communication and doing everyday tasks
- There’s more to a person than the dementia
After undertaking the training we can now all call ourselves “Dementia Friends” and wear our badge with pride. We also individually pledged to turn our understanding into actions. This was anything, from volunteering, to staying in touch with someone we know living with dementia.
How Anstee & Co can help you.
If you would like Rachel to deliver this interactive presentation to your Company, Society or Club then please get in contact with us. The cost of the presentation is free. Rachel covers Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire but would be able to put you into contact with someone in other areas who also would be able to deliver the presentation.
