Quality Online Training for the Community Services Sector

This online course is designed to help support and care workers build confidence, understanding and compassion when working with people diagnosed under the age of 65. The course explains dementia in clear, plain language and explores the different types of dementia, how symptoms present and progress and the unique challenges associated with younger onset dementia. Learners will gain practical skills in recognising behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), using person-centred communication, supporting dignity and wellbeing and responding to increased vulnerability, risk, and changing care needs. With a strong focus on ethical, respectful and individualised care, this course equips workers with strategies they can apply immediately to support both individuals and their families across disability and aged care settings.
