Creative Caring for Dementia Carers

Do you care for someone with memory loss or dementia (with or without a diagnosis)? Would you like to learn more creative ways to communicate with them? Our exciting new Creative Caring for Dementia Carers project will offer you a safe and supportive space where you can:

Talk freely about the challenges and experience of caring for someone with dementia
Explore techniques for self-care
Learn more about how dementia and memory loss can affect communication
Learn new, creative ways to communicate such as using music, memory boxes, poetry, singing, crafts and sensory methods such as hand massage
Develop the skills to give you more confidence to speak up in meetings with professionals
Get information to help you understand and plan for the financial impact of caring for someone with dementia
Take part in at least two trips to dementia friendly venues with the person you care for

There will be face-to-face sessions in Leicester City, Loughborough and Oakham; the first sessions are taking place in November – see the flyer above for dates.
