The programme is open to all unpaid carers who care for someone living with dementia. All sessions are optional, and you are welcome to attend more than once as your needs as a carer change. The aim of the programme is educational, to support you to gain practical knowledge and skills, learning from skilled health and social care professionals, as well as connecting with other carers.
