Event Title:

DISABILITY FORUMS - What is Map Therapy?

Date: Thursday, 9 September 2010

Cost: Gold Coin Donation

Location: DIRC (Disability Information and Resource Centre), 195 Gilles St Adelaide SA 5000

What is Map Therapy? Complementary Therapies in Dementia Care

Dementia is a debilitating condition, which has been described as ‘a living death’ and for which there is currently no cure. Both the nature and progress of the disease are highly individualistic and there is no ‘one treatment fits all’ easy fix for carers of people with dementia.

Research has shown that professional carers are highly innovative in designing treatment regimes for people with dementia and that the majority of Nursing Homes use a wide variety of Complementary Therapies to support regular medical treatments

What are Complementary Therapies? How can they be used by professional carers and family members who are supporting people with Dementia?

This will be an informative introduction to the use of Complementary Therapies in dementia care and an opportunity to discuss your thoughts and concerns.
