Guide Dogs WA

Join us in the shade of the trees in the park in front of the museum for a relaxed morning tea with John from Guide Dogs WA and Eva.

Grab some early Christmas presents with Guide Dogs WA merchandise on sale at this session.

Interacting with animals can have many benefits for a person with dementia while reducing anxiety and depression. This final dementia series session with Guide Dogs WA aims to provide pleasure and relaxation by interacting with Eva the ambassador dog and being able to reminisce on pets they have owned.

Suitable for: Anyone who would love to meet Eva, the Guide Dogs WA ambassador dog.

Tea, coffee and morning tea will be available.

Dementia Memory Kits are now available to borrow from Subiaco Library:

What is a Dementia Memory Kit?

Dementia Memory Kits are designed especially for those caring for people experiencing memory loss. They foster communication and are meant to be explored together with a caregiver or family member. Each contains items to provide opportunities for:

• Prompts - materials provide prompts to engage in conversations, stimulate memories, and to provide opportunities for positive and engaging interactions.
• Reminiscence - materials for sharing life experiences, memories and stories from the past. It not only brings back memories of people and places from another time, but also evokes the emotions associated with them.
• Share memories - as a way of leading into a question more gently providing clues for the sorts of things you will talk about.
• Action instead of words - tactile games are included in the kits.
