Welcome to DREAM Coaching: Understanding the role of Dementia Support Coaches and how they can support you

Welcome to Season 2 of Voices in DREAM, where we explore real-life case scenarios involving changing behaviours in people living with dementia. Guided by experienced Dementia Support Coaches, this series offers practical strategies, reassurance, and compassionate support to help care providers navigate the challenges of dementia care with confidence and empathy. Together with DREAM Coaches, we unpack behavioural shifts by identifying early signs, exploring practical and person-centred strategies, and sharing tools that promote patience, empathy, and resilience. Our goal is to offer insight and reassurance, supporting you to create moments of comfort, dignity, and connection for people living with dementia even in the face of change.Welcome to DREAM coaching: Meet the team and learn how they can support youIn this introductory episode, Yashi is joined by Mary-Clare, the Team Leader of the Dementia Support Coaches, to introduce DREAM Coaching.
