Creative Dementia Research Group Knowledge Cafe
September 18 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
On 18th September 2024, the Creative Dementia Research Group will host a Knowledge Cafe.
This event will celebrate the culmination of an innovative creative arts-based approach to assisting individuals with younger onset dementia and their families to enhance interpersonal engagement and personhood.
People with younger onset dementia require community-based services that cater to their specific needs, emphasizing family dynamics, social interaction, and preserving individual identity. Our work explored the benefits of Neuro Dramatic Play (NDP) as a novel creative art, drama, play and movement method to engage people with younger onset dementia in imaginative interactions and meaningful expressions of self. The Knowledge Cafe will present insights from this projectq, including recruitment challenges, the significance of a collaborative consultation group involving the dementia community, key data themes, and a strategy for expanding this distinctive approach.
