Why the Words We Use Will Matter: Respectful Language When Discussing Dementia
August 12 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am MDT
If you are supporting someone living with dementia, the words you use every day matter more than you might think. This workshop explores three questions together: what do we mean by language in dementia, why does it matter, and how can we speak in ways that are respectful, productive, and proactive? Come away with practical ideas you can use right away, and a fresh perspective on something you are already doing every day.
