Caring for a loved one with dementia is one of life’s greatest challenges, testing the strength of family bonds.
This two-hour programme offers a combination of information, short “scenes from life with dementia,” and practical insights into prevention and early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and other conditions that cause dementia. The lecture explores typical crisis situations arising in intergenerational households, focusing on how to understand the changing world of an ageing person, how to avoid burnout under the pressure of caregiving, and how not to lose oneself, or mutual respect, in the chaos of diagnosis. Together, we will name the common pitfalls caregivers face and seek bridges across the divides that can separate us.
Short scenes will evoke situations encountered not only by those living with dementia, but also by their loved ones, even by those who happen to cross their path.
The programme will also emphasise that old age is not defined solely by dementia, but also by wisdom, life experience, and a sense of humour. There may even be a surprise…
Information cards, brochures, and leaflets will be available for anyone who wishes to take the information home.
