What matters most when delivering and receiving psychotherapy for people living with dementia?
We asked people living with dementia, their families and friends, and therapists who provide therapeutic interventions to families affected by dementia.
The result is a co-designed set of core competences specifically tailored for working with families affected by dementia, ensuring that support is grounded in both clinical evidence and lived experience.
