Our Workshops
We are currently in the process of developing a comprehensive range of workshops tailored to meet the needs of both caregivers and those they care for. These workshops will provide practical advice, emotional support, and coping strategies to help you navigate the challenges of dementia care. Planned workshops include:
For People Living with Dementia and Their Caregivers
Caring for Dementia Carers: A workshop focusing on communication techniques, understanding dementia's impact, managing stress and conflict, and planning for future needs. This workshop will offer caregivers an opportunity to learn and share in a supportive environment.
Looking at the Future for Dementia Carers: This workshop will help caregivers prepare for future decisions, including understanding care options and managing transitions.
Self-Care Strategies: A one-day workshop designed to help caregivers manage their role alongside other life commitments, offering tools for wellbeing and stress management.
For Community Members and Organisations
Our dementia awareness workshops aim to educate the General Public, local businesses and other community or voluntary organisations about dementia, to promote greater empathy and understanding. These sessions are geared towards creating a supportive environment for those affected by dementia, covering topics such as:
- Becoming a 'Dementia Friend'
- Creating dementia friendly business environments
- Effective Communication for Carers: Enhancing the ability to communicate needs clearly and effectively, building trust, and managing conflicts
- Managing Grief for Carers: Providing support for dealing with grief, including understanding the grief process and finding ways to cope.
Why Choose Our Workshops?
- Comprehensive Support: From practical caregiving techniques to emotional and mental health support, our workshops cover various aspects of living with and caring for someone with dementia.
- Community Connection: We focus on building a compassionate and inclusive community, providing a safe and supportive space for sharing experiences and forming connections.
- Expert-Led Sessions: Our workshops are facilitated by professionals knowledgeable in dementia care, or grief and loss, offering insights into the latest research and strategies for support, or by people with lived experience of dementia offering personal insights, guidance and support.
Whether you are a family member caring for a loved one with dementia, someone living with memory loss or dementia, or a member of the community looking to support those affected by this condition, our workshops offer valuable resources and support. Additionally, they offer a place to share experiences, create connections and develop supportive networks.
Together, we can create a more informed, empathic, supportive and inclusive environment for everyone touched by dementia.
