Living Experience Engagement in DTA Activities

The involvement of people living with dementia in program design, development, and delivery will make DTA training more relevant, engaging, and effective, and will deliver stronger capacity building outcomes.

Purpose

The purpose of consultation/co-design is to strengthen and improve DTA processes, programs, projects, and resources by including the perspective of living experience which supports DTA’s vision, mission, and values.
