Music therapy for dementia
Please register to participate
Konnekt is pleased to announce that we are supporting an innovative research study being run by The University of Melbourne that is developing and testing a mobile phone app that helps carers learn how to use music to support their loved ones living with dementia.
How music helps with dementia
The benefits of music for people with dementia are becoming widely recognised. Music therapy has been found to
- help with memory recall and cognitive function
- improve mood
- reduce risk of depression, anxiety and agitation
- increase positive interactions
- enhance the connection between people with dementia and their family members and care providers.
