| Please list any comments or feedback about the Dementia Friends Session that you would like to share. | I took this course as recommended by ChatGPT. I am pursuing my Masters in Social Work and my practicum is at a facility in which the majority of the clientele have some degree of dementia. Prior to my experience at this facility I had not been exposed to anyone with dementia and I found a passion for helping and understanding people better who do have it. This lessons was the first thing that came up when I was searching for sources that can help educate myself more. I think one takeaway for me is not to fill in the gaps when having a conversation with someone who has Dementia. The past few weeks when I had asked a client a question and they seemed to not understand or spend a significant amount of time trying to answer the question I thought I was being helpful by "filling in" potential responses for questions like "what are you doing this weekend?" going forward I will make sure to not interrupt there processing time and provide them with more question. |
