Question 1

How do I join?

Accepted Answer

Once we’ve accepted your registration, we’ll send you a link and joining instructions. You can join via Zoom or the telephone from anywhere, and share your experience with other carers. Don't forget to register for each session you want to attend!

Question 2

Do I have to attend every one of the six sessions?

Accepted Answer

No! We hope that this becomes a regular fixture in your schedule for as long as it’s helpful. But you don’t have to attend every session.

Question 3

What will I get out of the session?

Accepted Answer

It's easy to feel overwhelmed when you're looking after someone with dementia. Finding practical tips and advice from people who've been there and done it can help. You'll connect with professionals and other carers who can help you find short cuts through the confusing maze of dementia care.

Question 4

I'm a professional carer - can I join the group?

Accepted Answer

This group is only for unpaid carers, family or friends who are looking after someone with dementia.  We do offer support for paid carers - please visit www.dementiacarers.org.uk/partnerships to find out more.

Question 5

What if I'm not ready to talk, can I just join and listen?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!  This is a safe space where carers can join and speak when the time feels right for them.

Question 6

Does the person that I'm caring for need a formal dementia diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

No. We understand that sometimes it is difficult to get a diagnosis for someone with dementia and we recognise that you still need support. Therefore, the person you are caring for does not need to have a formal diagnosis of dementia for you to attend any of our online group support sessions.
