Caritas self-help group for dementia

Description

At regular group meetings, participants gather with like-minded people to work through their changing life situation, encourage one another, and exchange practical everyday tips. It can also simply be an opportunity to chat and laugh in a pleasant atmosphere. Two Caritas staff members take care of the organizational coordination and professional support of the self-help group. They are available at any time to provide information and assistance with specific questions about dementia. Participation is free of charge. What is discussed? The participants themselves decide what they would like to talk about. Possible topics may include: - Experiences of the current situation; - Managing challenges, boosting self-confidence and strengthening the ability to act; - Finding the courage to be more open about a diagnosis; - Addressing problematic issues within the family and social environment; - Seeing that there are peers who have the same questions.
