How are you coping with dementia issues in your community? Here is a great tool
Dementia cases in Australia are on the increase with 1 in 10 over 65-year-olds showing some signs of dementia – this will likely impact your village community.
The DCM Institute is proud to support the Virtual Dementia Tour™ tool being championed by Churches of Christ in QLD.
The VDT™ helps raise awareness and educate staff to be more empathetic and compassionate when engaging, communicating and delivering care or services to people living with or supporting those living with dementia.
The VDT involves a 10-minute immersive experience, followed by a facilitated 30 minute debrief by a qualified certified trainer.
Churches of Christ has partnered with Leading Age Service Australia (LASA) in the national distribution of the Virtual Dementia Tour™ which is exclusively licenced to CofCQ.
If you would like to experience VDT™ or know more about the product please contact virtualdementiatour@cofcqld.com.au or call 1300 970 733.
