Dementia supporter programmes

Dementia supporter programmes or ‘Supported Dementia’ are experienced over 12 weeks.

The initial sessions are delivered over 6 weekly 1-hour sessions we explore and start to understand what dementia is, how it is impacting the people we support and what we can do to help.

These sessions are run online but with limited place to support carers to attend from the comfort of their own home and gives people an opportunity to discuss in a safe space their experience of supporting their person.

The next 6 weeks are an opportunity for more peer support to talk about the supporter experience, what might help you in your role whilst discussing your feelings and the difficulties you face as a supporter of someone living with dementia.
