This immersive workshop is designed to support caregivers and healthcare professionals who work with people living with dementia, enabling them to de-escalate safely following a behavioural emergency. With use of an experiential VR program, care staff can practice de-escalation skills in a safe and controlled simulation environment, providing participants with an opportunity to learn and apply de-escalation techniques and communication strategies, while seeing the real-time outcome of their decisions

Connect with like-minded professionals, share knowledge and develop skills to support people living with dementia and drive positive change in your workplace with Dementia Australia’s communities of practice.
