4 Dementia Carers
"Practical support and understanding for unpaid dementia carers to aid mental health and well-being"
Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes
Dementia carers are at high risk to their own mental health and wellbeing, including suicide. They need information, understanding and support. Connecting to others in a similar situation allows sharing of issues and experience. Carers are experts by their experience. Helping someone else can help you too.
Face to face support at the right time is the most powerful medicine.
"Now that the taboos are gone I can talk about my dad to my colleagues and friends. I no longer feel isolated or alone. I hear what other people are going through and I think that if they can cope then so can I. I now realise that it is a normal situation to be in."
Every workplace is likely to staff impacted by dementia. In a large organisation this may have an invisible cost - to health and efficiency. You will not know who is impacted. They do not discuss it because they don't think you will understand, or they think that you may discriminate against them. By supporting these colleagues, the positive difference seen across the organisation can be significant. See my Met Office case study. Employers have a duty of care to their employees and dementia carers are protected under the Equality Act, because of their connection to a person with dementia. Return Of Investment is significant.
Workshops can be tailored to suit the group or organisation. Read feedback from British Library here.
We currently provide a monthly meeting at Newton's Place in Newton Abbot on the last Thursday of the month

Workshops
We provide workshops for organisations
These will be tailored to the needs of the group. It can be for dementia carers (including former dementia carers), all carers, or aimed at management/line managers. It can be difficult for a line manager to know how to support a person who is struggling with the impact of their caring role.
Workshops take place in work time, like training days. Providing brief respite from caring and work, they give the delegates information, understanding and coping tools. They also allow delegates to connect to others in a similar situation.
Clubs or groups can have tailored workshops to suit their needs.
Network Group
Facilitating a network group in a community can support local carers. Awareness and understanding can also be beneficial to others who are active in the community.
Local community support has been in the form of a monthly network group at St Pauls Church in Newton Abbot, open to anyone who can attend. St Paul's are not charging for the room and we do not therefore charge entrance.
Zoom
During the Covid-19 lockdown, we operate a weekly online Zoom meeting. Thursdays at 2pm. If you feel you would benefit from joining us then contact us to register and receive instructions for joining. After lockdown we may consider continuing a regular Zoom session, if there is demand from those located outside our local area.
We can provide an inspirational speaker, with content tailored to suit your group or event.
