How dementia affects the brain and the person
This video resource from Dementia Training Australia (DTA) was launched at the end of 2016 for carers, families and people with dementia to help them understand what a diagnosis of dementia means, how dementia progresses, some of its most common forms, how the brain works and how dementia changes the brain.
It is an updated version of the highly successful Understanding Brain and Behaviour that was first produced in 2004 by Dementia Australia NSW and has since been the most requested resource for families and carers through Dementia Australia’s libraries.
More Information About The Video
Developed in collaboration with Dementia Australia Victoria, this presentation discusses how the brain works and the relationship between physiological damage to the brain caused by dementia and the changes experienced by people living with dementia.
By understanding some of the relationships between the brain and behaviour we can better support people living with dementia in improving their quality of life.
