Dementia Care: Staying
Connected and Living Well
A course for carers, to help you stay connected to loved ones, manage stress at home and defuse difficult situations.
Why join the course?
If you are a carer for a
person living with dementia then this is a course for you.
When it comes to
understanding and supporting a person living with dementia, family carers are
very often the most skilled and knowledgeable. Yet, you will know that carers
can face a number of really stressful situations that can be difficult to deal
with.
Get advice on connecting
with and caring for someone with dementia
This course will provide
you with knowledge and advice that can help you connect with and care for someone
living with dementia. We will focus on everyday experiences that are seen as
particularly challenging and stressful, such as combining employment with
caring for someone living with dementia.
Newcastle University has
great expertise in ageing and dementia research. We specialise in understanding
dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), so this course will shine a light on some of
the stressful symptoms and communication problems associated with this
condition, as well as covering the challenges of other types of dementia
including Alzheimer’s disease.
Meet other dementia
carers and academic experts
Over the three weeks, you
will meet other carers and academic experts who have developed strategies and
practical steps that can improve communication - something which is crucially
important for building and maintaining relationships, and for effectively
negotiating daily life.
By the end of the course,
you will develop a new understanding of:
- the brain and
different types of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia with
Lewy bodies (DLB);
- what a person
with dementia is experiencing;

situations and behaviours that can cause carer stress;
