Spark of Life Education

With a strong solution focus, the education sensitively shifts attitudes and work practices from a more clinical/task perspective – to a heart-centred perspective where staff are emotionally connected with their residents, clients, or patients.

This fundamental shift is the foundation for preventing any angry aggressive behaviours and providing the older person with the opportunity to live their lives as fully included human beings with choice, meaning, and purpose.

Everything starts with the quality of the interaction.

The perspective and needs of staff are also carefully considered. They are empowered with the knowledge and practical skill to know how to best support people with dementia and how to prevent and solve angry, aggressive behaviours which also means a more enjoyable work experience.

There are extra advantages from undertaking Spark of Life Education.

Participants are:

  • Challenged to think beyond their own established mindsets and biases, to reimagine their approach to care.
  • Re-learning the ability required to be focused in the moment with each person they provide support to.
  • Equipped with competencies to meet the New Strengthened Aged Care Standards specifically in the area of dementia care.

All education is provided live via Zoom. This interactive tool enables the education to be experienced by staff in several venues simultaneously.
