Tailored to fit: DTA Tailored Training Packages
DTA will work with the organisation to put together a customised combination of recommended courses, services and resources to meet specific needs.
DTA’s Kirsty Bennett talks about how the new Aged Care Quality Standards can facilitate better design for dementia.
Latin is not a dead language when it comes to dementia design.
The phrase salutogenesis is a word that guides the philosophy of Dementia Training Australia (DTA) and is derived from the Latin for health – ‘salus’, and for source – ‘genesis’.
It was coined by sociologist Aaron Antonovsky, who believed health is relative on a continuum and the key research question is what causes health (salutogenesis) not what are the reasons for disease (pathogenesis).
DTA has taken this idea and applied it to living with dementia. They hold that “a salutogenic approach is about finding opportunities for people with dementia to live as full a life as possible”.
