Many organisations already understand that connection to nature brings significant wellbeing benefits for people living with dementia, but they may not have the knowledge or confidence to create inclusive and enjoyable experiences for people with the condition.
Dementia Adventure’s Managing Risk and Nature Experiences training is for professionals and volunteers interested in creating inclusive outdoor or nature-based experiences for people living with dementia.
We ground all our training in the latest research and it’s delivered by our team of expert trainers who have tried and tested methods to help you improve inclusivity for people with dementia in your space.
What to expect
The session is really practical, offering you strategies and guidance for your workplace.
The training will lead you through the ‘Six Steps to Success’ approach, which you can adapt to your environment.
