Empátia Dementia Packages
People with Early Symptoms of dementia
Joint Coaching
Empatia Dementia offers various coaching packages tailored to the situation. The main coaching package is comprised of 6 structured sessions centred around dementia education and counselling, identity, emotions, communication and behaviour, grief and loss, and resilience and sustainability.
Family carers benefit significantly from coaching, often experiencing burnout juggling the caring role with various responsibilities and neglecting their health.
Empatia Dementia coaching provides a safe space to explore difficult emotions such as grief, loss, unmet plans, guilt and frustrations. Coaching supports carers to strike a balance between the caring role and self-care. To understand and manage communication and behaviour changes through tailored interventions. Ultimately, equipping family carers with a skill set to navigate changes and build resilience to sustain their situation for the long term.
Dementia can strain even the closest relationships. Both the person with dementia and the family carer try to protect one another which in itself can create distance and isolation in the relationship.
Joint coaching is offered for the person with dementia and the family carer. People can work with the Empatia Coach to understand the impact of changes in identity, roles, communication and behaviour on the relationship. The family carer and person with dementia can learn skills and acquire knowledge to manage these changes and realign the changes for stronger more rewarding relationships.
Family Sessions
Family sessions - each family member experiences and reacts to dementia differently. Family members try to protect one another which can lead to frustrations. People respond differently in response to grief. Full family support is provided to those wishing to understand dementia and manage their own feelings and needs in relation to the disease.
Family carers of people living with dementia
A diagnosis of dementia leaves people feeling anxious and many experience feelings of loss regarding identity and purpose.
Empatia coaching supports people with early symptoms of dementia to come to terms with the diagnosis and regain confidence, purpose, meaning, and identity. People are supported to adapt to changes and to live a meaningful life through enhancing cognitive abilities, capitalising on strengths, and promoting overall well-being.
