Learn how to understand and recognise the symptoms of dementia and be capable of fully supporting those in need with this Dementia Awareness course. In fundamental terms, dementia is the loss of cognitive functioning to a significant degree. Individuals with it have problems thinking, remembering, and reasoning to such an extent that it interferes with their everyday life and can change their personalities altogether. This can be distressing and confusing for those around them, especially if they are loved ones or close acquaintances. With this insightful education, you can learn how to appreciate the effects of the condition and be of great help to those who have it.

This Dementia Awareness tutorial offers eight educational modules filled with useful facts and information about the various forms of dementia that can affect anyone in their later years. You will learn about the types of dementia that exist, how the effects can be assessed, how best to support someone with the condition, the available expert treatments, and the support groups that can provide help at any time. Whether you are interested in providing social or community care in this area or have a person close to you with possible dementia, this is the information you will need to deal with challenging times and make sure that an individual has the appropriate help.

Please Note: The Dementia Awareness course provides valuable and appropriate education about the symptoms and treatments of dementia. However, it does not offer expert lessons to immediately work as a helper or carer in an expert capacity with those that have the condition. Always check with prospective employers and healthcare experts before committing to care work.
