The Dementia Interpreter community edition video online course is exclusive to ProTrainings.(Training2care)

Dementia is a word that everyone knows, and for most of us, this word is feared. As with many things, we believe this is due to the lack of knowledge and understanding of dementia and this means that most people are just not prepared for it. You can help change this lack of knowledge and help shape the future of dementia care.

Throughout this video online course, you will complete multiple modules on various topics including definitions, communication, changes that can be made, body language, and more. There are also experiential training modules and finally a summary and conclusion that will make you understand that completing the course is just the start of your journey.

We want you to see what it is like to experience the difficulties people with dementia have. We take away the ability to speak, see, hear, and use body language to force people to find new ways of communicating, just like those with dementia must. It is not easy but the first-hand experience of feeling the same isolation, frustration, and anxiety as those that have dementia is key to understanding that communication is at the very heart of dementia care.

Completing the course means that you will become a registered Dementia Interpreter Level 1. You get access to the Dementia Interpreters forum where you create your profile to start your journey on helping translate the Language of Dementia.

TO ENROL CANDIDATES PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL TO caishyfforddiant@gwynedd.llyw.cymru  noting DEMENTIA INTERPRETERS in subject area, and the e.mail address of the candidate you wish to enrol.

There is no cost for the level 1 award, once candidates have been enrolled we can also provide you with progress updates if you wish, candidate reminder messages are automatically generated by the training system.

Aims & Objectives

This one day course considers different potential stages of a person’s dementia journey but, unlike previous models of training, looks at these in a more tailored, person-centred way.  The training uses the concept of “Crystals” to illustrate how the journey may differ from person to person, based on the type of dementia diagnosis and where in the brain the damage is occurring.

Abuka are members of “DEEP” and the Alzheimer’s Society, and this training has been built on lived experience of people living with dementia and their carers.  Reference is also made to “Good Work:  A Dementia Learning and Development Framework for Wales” and the Social Services and Well Being (Wales) Act 2014, which details best practice for understanding dementia and its effects.

Aims and objectives:

Mental health first aid (MHFA) is the initial help given to someone experiencing a mental health problem before professional help is obtained. Participants learn an approach to help them in a mental health crisis situation to remain calm and confident.  They will also learn how to respond in the most appropriate way.  These actions will make a difference and determine how quickly a person gets help or recovers. The aims of MHFA are:

  • to preserve life where a person may be a danger to themselves or others
  • to provide help to prevent the mental health problem developing into a more serious state
  • to promote the recovery of good mental health
  • to provide comfort to a person experiencing a mental health problem.

MHFA does not teach people to be therapists.  However, it does teach people:

  • how to recognise the symptoms of mental health problems
  • how to provide initial help
  • how to guide a person towards appropriate professional help

Aims and Objectives

Young People and the Mental Capacity Act

This course is designed to enable practitioners working with young people to develop their knowledge and skills in relation to the application of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (‘the MCA 2005’) to their work. The MCA 2005 will be relevant to young people aged 16 and over who lack capacity to make decisions for themselves, as well as parents who lack capacity to make decisions in relation to their children.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course participants will have

  • Understand how to gain consent from children
  • Improved their knowledge and understanding of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 generally and, in particular, its application to under 18s
  • Considered how to apply that knowledge to their practice
  • Discussed relevant legal and practice issues

Deprivation of Liberty in Children and Young People

This course aims to update staff working with children, young people and those in transition with the latest case law and developments in relation to deprivation of liberty. The course will consider these developments and their impact on practice. It examines the Supreme Court ruling on deprivation of liberty and considers practical issues in its application for children and young people.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course participants will be able to:

  • Understand the ‘presumption of capacity’ from age 16; the overlap with parental responsibility until the age of 18 and how this differs to consent provided for children under 16
  • Understand the supreme court ruling and it’s application to those aged under 18
  • Identify when a deprivation of liberty may be occurring and how to make it lawful
