From secondwind.org/programs/dementia-interpreters ↗About this program
Second Wind Dreams® is proud to join our UK partner, Training2Care Group, as we prepare to launch the exclusive Dementia Interpreters Excellence pathway created by CEO Glenn Knight.
The Dementia Interpreters course will give participants the opportunity to experience the same communication barriers that a person living with dementia may experience. This is a live course in person or online and you have the opportunity to continue with self-study modules. You receive a Dementia Interpreter certificate upon completion of the class of the 3 hour class. This is a great addition to the VDT.
Participants will take part in a series of tasks where they will be asked to communicate with others while having the abilities that they would normally rely on to communicate-impaired. Classes are taught in groups of 3, 6, or 9.
Dementia Interpreters comes with an app where we connect you to our United Kingdom counterparts to join the Dementia Dictionary. Once you complete the class, you can interact with people all over the world on this platform to get your questions about dementia answered. This is a fun, challenging, empathy building class not to be missed.
