Dementia Carers Count - online learning & information
We believe that dementia carers count. We’re working for a world where all family and friends taking care of someone with dementia feel confident, supported and heard. We recognise the important challenge that you face – as a wife, a son, a daughter-in-law, a close friend – when you’re responsible for that person who really needs you.
You and your experience are unique; dealing with a complex and ever-changing condition that can’t be seen. It’s not something you’ve chosen, but it affects every facet of your life.
- We provide free courses designed and delivered by healthcare professionals
- We give you the opportunity to meet and connect with people in a similar situation, and we’re here to listen, too.
- We believe that dementia carers count and we’re here to support you, wherever you are in your journey.
