Sagamihara City to Host Dementia Supporter Training Course on August 17, 2025
Sagamihara City is pleased to announce an upcoming Dementia Supporter Training Course, scheduled to take place on Sunday, August 17, 2025, at 3:05 PM. This initiative aims to foster a more supportive and understanding community for individuals living with dementia and their families.
Dementia is a condition that affects cognitive functions, and the number of people experiencing it is growing. Recognizing the importance of societal awareness and support, Sagamihara City is offering this valuable training opportunity to empower residents to become dementia supporters.
A dementia supporter is a member of the community who volunteers to learn about dementia and offers friendly support to those affected by it. This can range from simple acts of kindness and understanding in daily interactions to providing practical assistance and emotional comfort. By participating in this course, individuals will gain essential knowledge about dementia, its various types, common symptoms, and effective communication strategies. The training also aims to equip participants with a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with dementia and their caregivers, promoting empathy and reducing stigma.
The course will provide practical insights into how to interact with individuals with dementia, offering guidance on how to create a more inclusive and comfortable environment. Participants will learn about the importance of patience, clear communication, and respecting the dignity of individuals with dementia.
Sagamihara City strongly believes that by increasing the number of trained dementia supporters, the city can create a stronger network of care and assistance, enabling individuals with dementia to live more fulfilling lives within their communities. This training is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in contributing to a more dementia-friendly society.
Further details regarding the venue and registration process will be announced in due course. We encourage all residents who are interested in learning more about dementia and how to offer support to consider attending this informative session. Sagamihara City looks forward to welcoming participants and working together to build a compassionate and supportive community for all.
