This is a half day workshop, introducing a new resource/tool.

Registrations for the workshop are invited from health professionals working in residential aged care facilities, particularly those responsible for assessing Aboriginal people living with dementia.

Workshop objectives:

• Understand the need for holistic assessment of people with dementia
• Consider the specific needs of Aboriginal people with dementia
• Demonstrate the impact of historical events and government policies on the life experiences of Aboriginal people
• Complete the new DTSC Cultural Assessment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.

We ask that you watch a 30 minute DVD and read the “The Story Behind the Story” booklet prior to attending the workshop. These items will be posted to you a week before the workshop. Additional resources and copies of the Cultural Assessment record will be provided at the workshop.
