#172 Dementia: Reframing for a Creative and Positive Approach – Ashley Bright and Heather MacLeod, Instructors with the Conscious Dying Collective


Listen Later

When someone is living with dementia, challenges abound. Join me for a conversation with Ashley Bright and Heather MacLeod, experienced instructors of a course designed to provide a deeper understanding of dementia. They’ll share a practical framework for navigating the journey, along with actionable tips to ease daily life for caregivers and families. How can we learn to “enter their world” rather than trying to bring them back to ours? What strategies help caregivers adapt and connect with individuals where they are?
