Caraway recognises that carers need help during the first few months following diagnosis and has set up a course for carers. Being given a diagnosis of dementia in your family is a scary thing. It is like starting a new journey without a map, an unknown route and an uncertain destination.
Unlike other dementia-related courses this is not a ‘how to do dementia care’ as no one size fits all. It is a way of understanding how we think and feel, how we open ourselves up to the pain it brings and how to start living life in a way that is better for us. The Caraway Course for Carers focuses on the emotional turmoil dementia can bring. You will explore a range of tools and strategies for managing thoughts and feelings such as guilt, shame, pain, frustration and anger to mention a few.
