CARERS Education: 4 week free Dementia Education Course for informal carers

This course is for those looking after someone at home who has received a dementia diagnosis. It teaches what is dementia and helps carers to gain an understanding about different types of dementia, their signs and symptoms, about communication, different behaviours and coping strategies etc.

The course is taught weekly with time for carers to talk and make connections as well as learning together. We do encourage family members to come together and support each other, so places are open for several members of the same family to come on to the programme at the same time and share the learning.

Please note, this course is not suitable for individuals who either have dementia or are currently going through a process of diagnosis.

Booking is essential via eilish@olt.ie or contact 02871 373870.
