This training session is excellent! I am taking the training as a member of CorVoce Chamber Choir, under the direction of Karin Barrett, as we prepare for a concert with the theme of “…when memory fades”. I am excited to have received this training as it aligns with a combined passion and service that I have undertaken:
I am a hospice volunteer in a role that intersects companionship, socialization, and music. All four of my assigned patients live with dementia in a memory care unit (one with Alzheimer’s, and three with vascular dementia). My father died from Alzheimer’s. So there are things that I have learned and lived that that absolutely align with the content of this course.
What makes this course exceptional is the respectful articulation and its emphasis on friends and community. The delivery is beautifully accessible in a community context, and does not intimidate the target audience. The course respects its audience and invites them into a greatly needed but lesser known support opportunity for our family, friends, and neighbors living with dementia. It shows us a world where we and our dementia loved ones can sustain and/or grow social engagement, and prevent isolation.
So much dementia training material is so clinical and prescriptive. Dementia Friends avoids those intimidating pitfalls by focusing on humanity, kindness, and acceptance, by providing helpful examples for support and engagement. I will recommend this course to my hospice colleagues, as well as my book clubs and other social groups. Thank you so much.
