Dementia is often understood as memory loss.
But in reality, it is much more complex.
It is a condition that affects multiple brain systems-impacting not only memory, but also language, attention, behavior, perception, and daily functioning.
This course is designed to help you move beyond surface-level understanding, and develop a clearer, more structured way of thinking about dementia.
You will learn how different cognitive systems work, how they are affected in dementia, and how these changes appear in real-life situations.
Rather than focusing only on definitions, this course emphasizes practical understanding.
You will learn how to interpret behaviors, recognize patterns, and respond more effectively in everyday situations.
The course also introduces a clear framework for understanding dementia, and then applies this framework across different types of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, primary progressive aphasia, posterior cortical atrophy, Lewy body dementia, and vascular dementia.
In addition to understanding the person living with dementia, this course also addresses the experience of caregiving.
You will explore the emotional and physical demands of caregiving, and learn simple, practical strategies to maintain balance and prevent burnout.
This course is suitable for caregivers, family members, students, and healthcare professionals who want to gain a deeper, more practical understanding of dementia and how to approach it in daily life.
The goal is not only to understand dementia, but to know how to respond.
Who this course is for
This course is designed for caregivers, family members, and anyone supporting a person living with dementia who wants to better understand what is happening and how to respond in daily life. It is also suitable for psychology students, healthcare professionals, and individuals interested in gaining a clearer, more structured understanding of dementia and its real-life impact. If you are looking for practical guidance, real-life examples, and a deeper understanding of behavior-not just theoretical information-this course will be valuable for you.
