I truly enjoyed this session! Even though I work in dementia education and much of the information was familiar, I always believe there is something new to learn from others. One thing that really stood out to me was the reminder to use names instead of pronouns when communicating with someone living with dementia. It's such a simple thing, but one I hadn't really thought about before! It reminded me that sometimes the smallest changes in how we communicate can make the biggest difference. I love learning new ways to make life a little easier and more meaningful for those living with dementia. Thank you for a wonderful session!
