Dementia Awareness Workshops
A one day dementia awareness training course with a big difference.
Not only was it co-produced with people living with dementia, but all the key learning points on this course are taught, via embedded video clips, by people who have dementia. Our Memory Connections team are licenced to deliver the course, personally trained by Buzz Loveday, Director and Lead Trainer of Dementia Trainers.
Involving participation from the attendees, this workshop is informative, fun and thought provoking and all participants will receive a certificate on completion of the training.
Age UK Somerset offer Dementia Awareness workshops for individuals, groups and organisations.

If you would you like to have a better understanding of dementia our Memory Connections team have invaluable experience of supporting people living with dementia and will support your commitment to awareness. The workshops will improve your knowledge about dementia and give advice on how to handle difficult situations that can arise when caring for a person living with dementia. |
We run these courses throughout Somerset and North Somerset (see below for upcoming Workshops), and we can also come to the location of your organisation or group.
