LEAP (Listen, Empathise, Agree and Partner) is a communication program that helps create relationships with people who are unable to understand they are ill (known as anosognosia), with the goal of helping them accept treatment. LEAP is an evidence-based communication program.

If you would like to find out more, you’re invited to join us at a session with Dr Amador, founder of LEAP, where you will learn more about this communication technique. It is invaluable when working with people with anosognosia.
