Course topic
Dementia
Welcome to the "Dementia and validation" course block! Dementia greatly changes the lives of those affected and their relatives - making it all the more important to treat them with empathy and respect. In these ten units, you will learn what dementia is, how it affects thinking, feeling and behaviour and how you can best support people with dementia. Special emphasis is placed on the method of validation - a technique that helps to understand the emotional world of people with dementia and to treat them with respect and empathy. This knowledge will help you to maintain quality of life and dignity in everyday life.
