Training to help you if you are caring for someone with Dementia

Whether the person that you support has just had a diagnosis, or you have been caring for someone with Dementia for a long time, there is always something new to learn. If you are armed with as much knowledge about Dementia as possible it will help those with Dementia live a happier life and make your role as a Carer easier too.
As a Carer registered with Birmingham Carers Hub you can access FREE online and face-to-face learning sessions (don’t worry, there isn’t a test) delivered by expert advisors from our partner Dementia Carers Count.
In person Dementia awareness sessions will cover different topics such as restless nights, Dementia behaviour changes & more. You will also have the opportunity to chat with other Carers and enjoy a cuppa. You can explore in person awareness sessions here.
If you prefer online information, you can access Dementia Training Webinars online here.
