Our Dementia Carer Wellbeing Programme has been running successfully since 2015 and is a structured eight-week wellbeing and support programme open to family carers of people experiencing dementia. What is unique about our programme is that the carer can bring the person experiencing dementia with them and they will receive our Cognitive Stimulation Therapy Programme for up to 16 weeks.
The programme currently runs 3 times a year in January, May and September in Macclesfield, Knutsford, Poynton, Wilmslow and Congleton.
The next course begins in September, so please sign up ASAP if you are interested. After this, the next opportunity to join the course in is January.
