Dementia & Behaviour

Mon 4 June, 18 June, 25 June & July 2 (4 x 3hrs)
The caring role: a compassionate approach
You are invited to join a workshop run by Alzheimer's Australia Vic for family carers who are ready to reflect on their new role and relationship with their loved one with dementia and who can participate in a longer (4 week) group program.  Sessions run 10.00am-1.00pm. 

While this program includes information about dementia, changes and communication it also incorporates the loss and grief associated with becoming a carer of a loved one with dementia.  We talk about how to create an environment to facilitate the caring role as well as maintaining and getting support as a carer.

July 6, 13 & 20
Do you care for someone with dementia?  We encourage you to commit three half-days to gaining strategies, tips and advice - along with others in similar situations.  You will gain valuable information to assist with your caring role.  This workshop will be facilitated by Alzheimers Australia Vic.

Course starts July 31
The Creative Ways to Care course is a seven session education and training program for family carers of people with dementia. This course will be held at Caulfield Hospital and is repeated throughout the year at other locations.  It runs during mornings, once a week over seven weeks and will provide you comprehensive strategies for improving the quality of everyday life for both you and the person you care for.
