Dementia Connections
Living with a loved one’s diagnosis of dementia can cause immense strain. There can be so much uncertainty and fear about the future. This course will help you feel more positive.
It will help you come to terms with your situation and give you a fresh perspective so you feel better informed and find it easier to cope.
We will explore the emotional impact of dementia and identify practical strategies for making life feel better.
You will develop a toolkit of creative approaches so you and your loved one can find new ways of enjoying spending time together.
The course covers:
- Memory and the ageing process
- The emotional experience of a dementia diagnosis
- A “self-first is not selfish” approach to caring
- How to connect through creativity
- Where to turn for advice and support
By the end of the session, you will have a personal tool kit for responding to the challenges ahead. You will also be invited to join a community for future mutual support and creative inspiration.

The Dementia Connections course is close to my heart. I spent many years working with older people and witnessed time and time again the amazing impact creativity could have. It’s really important to remember that getting old isn’t all doom and gloom! This course will help shine a light on the possibilities for sharing more wonderful moments, whatever people’s circumstances.
