Inside

An empathetic evening for more understanding and community

The training Dementia-Balance-Model in Presence brings together people who want to better understand dementia and accompany it more safely in everyday life. The offering by Birgit Großhans, dementia consultant, focuses on self-experience, empathy, and a respectful engagement with the needs of people with dementia.

Why this training is important for older people and their relatives

Especially in old age, questions about orientation, memory, social participation, and health care often arise. The event provides a protected framework where knowledge, compassion, and practical help come together. This not only strengthens the consulting competence but also the well-being of all participants.

An offering with tangible practical relevance

The training consists of two consecutive units. Through self-experience, it becomes evident how challenging everyday situations with dementia can be. This creates understanding, reduces uncertainties, and supports age-appropriate, open communication.

Senior-friendly framework in the community center

The event will take place at the Caritas Senior Center St. Valentin – Community Center in Karlsruhe. The location is established as a neighborhood and meeting place and is therefore well-suited for community-oriented formats. Short distances, a familiar environment, and a calm learning atmosphere are particularly valuable for participants.

Accessibility and orientation on-site

The city of Karlsruhe offers barrier-free information for many locations with details on stops, toilets, and elevators. For the community center in Daxlanden, the integration into a senior-oriented environment is beneficial. Those requiring assistance with access, travel, or health-related questions should contact the senior citizens' office in advance and clarify their individual needs.

Conclusion: Knowledge that alleviates in daily life

This training combines expert knowledge, empathy, and practical experience into a valuable community experience. Those who wish to better understand dementia and make everyday life more human-friendly will find an important impetus here. Participation is particularly worthwhile for all who want to strengthen closeness, safety, and social participation.
