Living Well with Dementia: The Approach to Meaningful Independence

Join Jeannie from Concentric to explore how Occupational Therapy helps individuals continue living meaningful, independent lives, regardless of a dementia diagnosis.

Attendees will learn:

• The OT Approach: Moving beyond the diagnosis to understand the person, their values, and their goals.

• Practical Strategies: Actionable ways to adapt daily tasks, environments, and outines to maintain independence and confidence.

• The Power of Meaning: Why continuing to participate in the activities that define a person's identity is the most therapeutic intervention of all.

• Supporting Families: Practical guidance for carers on communication and managing changes, reducing stress for everyone involved.

This presentation challenges common myths about ageing and memory loss, replacing them with evidence-based insights that empower families and support individuals to stay engaged and strong. The session will be engaging, with audience questions and feedback opportunities throughout the presentation.
