Dementia Training
6D provides evidence-based dementia training that helps families and professionals understand distress and deliver better care.
See the person behind the behaviour
People living with dementia often experience distress that is misunderstood.
When behaviour is treated as a problem to manage rather than communication to understand, teams can become reactive, families lose confidence, and systems carry the cost, through avoidable admissions, unnecessary medication, and workforce burnout.
