January 1, 2021
June 21, 2022
Music can provide connection and shared experience between you and the person with dementia. It is particularly useful in everyday situations when other communication or activities are more challenging.
Music can help to maintain a person’s quality of life or even improve it. For carers, music can be beneficial by helping to lighten mood, helping create connections, reduce stress and bring back memories.
Who will host the session?
The webinar is hosted by Alex Stirling will explore the benefits of music and ways in which it can be used in everyday situations.
Alex is a Speech and Language Therapist who specialises in working with adults with acquired communication disabilities. Her interest in dementia has been influenced by the experience of being a part-time carer for her mother.
