Support your staff in developing advanced skills in planning and delivering individualised engagement. In this program, a nominated staff member learns how to plan engaging activities that enhance the quality of life for a person living with dementia. These learnings are applied to a project within their workplace, with support from a Dementia Australia facilitator. Knowledge and experience are then shared with other team members to help them plan and deliver meaningful activities.
