A five-week series of live, online meetings designed for family carers wanting both dementia education and a supportive community. Connect with others who understand the challenges of supporting someone living with brain change.
Join fellow family carers for a six-session online course, focusing on the GEMS states and how to offer the best care for each one. Deepen your understanding of both your loved one's needs and your own responses.
Caring for someone with dementia can feel like a lonely road but it doesn't have to be.
At Dementia Training UK, our dementia support groups bring family carers together, offering a supportive and confidential environment where your experiences are valued, your questions are answered and your burdens are shared. Being part of a group helps to lift the sense of isolation and provides clarity, comfort and practical guidance you simply can't get on your own.
Our group facilitators have “lived it” themselves, so they know exactly how it feels and this makes our peer support both independent and genuinely caring.
Joining a Dementia Training UK support group means you'll have friendly faces and experienced trainers by your side, every step of the way. Here's what you can expect:
held online or occasionally in-person across the UK, so you can join from wherever you are.
by certified and experienced dementia trainers, ensuring every meeting is structured and relevant.
where you'll discuss everyday challenges, coping mechanisms and wins (both big and small!) with other family carers.
that welcomes honesty, laughter, tears and encouragement, making every member feel a part of the Dementia Training UK family.
so you don't just get a one-off chat, but lasting community connections.
in dementia care, such as PAC® (Positive Approach to Care®), making every session practical and informative.
Being part of a Dementia Training UK dementia support group for family carers offers so much more than just advice. Every meeting leaves you with:
from people who truly get what it's like to care for a loved one with dementia.
so you feel better prepared for whatever comes your way.
drawn from our trainers' depth of experience and the wisdom of fellow carers.

ensuring you don't forget to care for yourself in the process.
no matter how tough it gets.
helping others while learning yourself.
Dementia can be tough but being part of a carer support group for dementia shows that together, we're even stronger.
