Caring for seniors can be very hands-on. It can be more difficult when the person being cared for doesn’t respond well to being touched. However by identifying different approaches to the way in which we physically interact, we can help reduce agitation and pain. We’re not talking about massage (although it is included in the course), but rather how you can use touch to help communicate calmness and confidence.
This is a half-day practical course for people working with older adults. It is based on the body’s physiology and focuses on the ways in which communication and touch are related, and how to choose the right type of touch at any time.
“Touch” can be done online or face to face. It is run by a qualified trainer who has used the Touch technique for when working with people of all ages, including resistive behaviour, pain and dementia.
