What will they cover?

The workshops are designed to help relatives understand more about the disease. We will help you identify the early signs and how the condition impacts a person.

Our teams have vast experience caring for those living with dementia and other mental health conditions. We want to share that knowledge with families to give you the confidence you need to support your loved ones.

We also want to give relatives the opportunity to talk about their experience with others going through something similar, because we know how important it is for families to feel supported, listened to and understood.

Lucy Hoddy, Learning and Development Manager, said: “This journey can be as frightening, confusing and overwhelming for relatives as it is for our residents who are living with dementia.

“We want to break down the condition and help families understand how best to support their loved ones. We want to help ease frustrations and work with our attendees so they can continue to support their loved one.

“These sessions are open to anyone who has concerns about someone close to them. It may be they are experiencing early dementia or that they are already living with dementia.”
