About
This psychosocial well-being program, designed specifically for people living with dementia*, incorporates artwork viewing with tactile and sensory components. After viewing two specially selected artworks, visitors with dementia and their care partner participate in a dementia-accessible creative activity. The program's approach draws on contemporary dementia care principles, with a focus on supporting reminiscence, validation and socialisation.
*Bookings are reserved for people who have a dementia diagnosis, and their care partner.
Bookings essential. Please contact the Group Bookings Office to RSVP by Thu 11 Sep. Includes morning tea and participants receive a print-out of the artworks explored in the program.
