[With English subtitles] "A member of my family has dementia -Humanitude is Here to Help-"
In Fukuoka City, we are working to create a "dementia-friendly city" where people with dementia can live safely and authentically in their familiar communities, and we are promoting "Humanitude," a communication and care technique that conveys kindness to people with dementia.
This video is from a program that aired on KBC Kyushu Asahi Broadcasting in 2024. Based on the experiences of the cast members who have cared for family members with dementia, it shares real-life stories of caregiving and introduces Humanitude, a dementia communication and care technique. Please take a look.
