*Please note...this session is for unpaid carers (not professionals).

Once a person receives a dementia diagnosis, there are many things that can be done straight away. These may provide immediate support or be part of future planning and we will guide you through the types of things that we recommend you consider – from financial support, legal rights and practical aspects such as changes that can be made at home, driving and the importance of support networks.

This session is for you if:

  • you want to spend time with experienced healthcare professionals who will answer your questions in a safe, supportive environment
  • you would like to meet other people who are taking care of a friend or family member with dementia in a similar situation
