What You Need to Know about Dementia and Communication
7 May 2025
When communication starts to break down and we are not heard or able to understand what is being said, it can be a source of anxiety and frustration.
We run free, friendly and informative events for unpaid carers. You will find regular coffee mornings and peer support groups where you can meet up with other like-minded carers to discuss concerns around dementia care. We host groups for former carers, young onset dementia carers, male carers and a living grief and bereavement group.
You will also find sessions for our Carer Development Programme here. This covers topics such as prioritising your emotional well-being and advice for advocating for yourself and the person you care for. Find out more about all our sessions here.
