D-Esc VR training for a behavioural emergency 20.08.26
About
This education is provided by Dementia Australia.This immersive workshop is designed to support caregivers and healthcare professionals who work with people living with dementia, enabling them to de-escalate safely following a behavioural emergency. With use of an experiential VR program, care staff can practice de-escalation skills in a safe and controlled simulation environment, providing participants with an opportunity to learn and apply de-escalation techniques and communication strategies, while seeing the real-time outcome of their decisions.
At completion participants will be more confident in being able to:
• Recognise emotional and physical signs of escalation
• Understand how increased stress impacts a person with dementia
• Apply person-centred de-escalation skills
• Contribute to debriefing to determine potential cause of behaviour
• Reduce the risk of harm for both the person with dementia and staff.
Resources will be provided. No catering - please BYO
