Room for Imagination Project, Equal Arts
I am really excited to begin the 'Room for Imagination' Project on behalf of Equal Arts!
The aim is to inspire the Care Staff at Princess House, to give them confidence in new ways of engaging individuals with Dementia, primarily through Sensory / Visual Arts.
I will be facilitating a vast range of techniques to see what staff and the residents participate and 'Sparkle' with, enabling the staff to sustain this practice over a longer period of time.
Photographs of Visual Art Outcomes will be logged to this blog - SO watch out!

iPad Training at LWDP / Promotion at LWDP Dementia Conference
iPad Training at LWDP was very interactive and pro-actively received at LWDP this week - with staff implementing this type of Creative Interaction into their Care Organisations. All the delegates that were on the course, had iPads or fundraised to get one...this is great news!
Lets hope that iPads will become essential to the care and well-being of an individual with Dementia!
iPad Training at LWDP will be promoted at the LWDP Dementia Conference on the 14th of March in Chorley. Work produced on an iPad / how this can be implemented and sustained in a Care Setting will all be presented.

Mental Health First Aid..
I participated in the Mental Health First Aid course which was funded by Durham City Council. It was absolutely fascinating and really helped to develop my knowledge around Mental Health especially in the context that i work in - through the Creative Arts. It gave great insight into how i should approach certain situations and deliver a successful session.
