Level 1 Dementia Awareness Training
“The session was fantastic. So thought provoking - points that we as officers / friends / even family would not have considered. Maisie and Linda really brought the subject to life and created a safe space for everyone to share as much or as little personal reflections as they wanted. We’d highly recommend the session to any individual or business wanting to find out more about dementia and how to help those living with the condition.”

“I found the training session very informative especially as I have a parent who has Dementia and the other parent is caring for them at home. Just having the opportunity to listen to the trainer talk about the environment where someone with dementia lives made me think about small changes my family could make to their home environment to make things slightly easier for the parent with dementia. Thank you for the training session.”

“A big thank you to Maisie for delivering such a thought provoking and eye-opening session. It really helped me to challenge some of my existing thoughts and frustrations I've had personally and just gave me a good nudge to be in that compassionate headspace.”
