A SHORT COURSE TO ASSIST CARERS OF A PERSON WITH DEMENTIA

This 3 session course is for carers who may be struggling with the changes in their life and relationships since a dementia diagnosis. Participants must be able to attend all 3 sessions which will be held on 28/3/19, 4/1/19 and 11/4/19. 

During the course, presented by Dementia Australia, you will:

• Gain information about the symptoms of dementia and how they may affect the person you care for

• Discuss the effect that these changes can have on you as the carer, and how you can cope

• Learn how to manage changes in the person you care for and how to help them lead fulfilling lives.

This course will encourage participants to share their experiences within a small group and to listen to and support each other.
