Dementia Skills Training Sessions

Do you support someone living with dementia or know somebody who does?

Dementia can be an isolating condition without the additional challenge of social distancing. We want to ensure people living with dementia, their family and friends are not alone at this difficult time.

These FREE Dementia Skills Sessions provided by Dementia Adventure are designed to help you think differently about dementia and give you practical guidance to help you in your supportive role.

The sessions are provided online using Zoom video conferencing, but all you need to participate is a laptop or desktop computer, tablet or smartphone and an internet connection. There's even a You Tube Tutorial on the Dementia Adventure website to introduce you to Zoom. 

You can safely connect online with qualified dementia trainers and other dementia carers, learn more about dementia and receive practical tips to help you in your supportive role. The training also includes tips on how to keep busy and active during this time, particularly around enjoying the outdoors on your doorstep which we know can have a hugely positive effect on the wellbeing of all of us including people living with dementia.

Many families are struggling with caring from a distance and these sessions might just give you a few ideas. It is really easy to join and you receive full instructions on how to access the training.

The sessions are all free to attend, but booking in advance is essential. You can do this, and find out much more on the website by following the link below:
