Dementia training course for Cullybackey
From Tuesday, February 28 (7-9pm) a six week workshop programme will start at the Dr John McKelvey Community Centre in the village. The training aims to help people understand more about the condition and its symptoms, including the sort of behaviours that people may display which can at times be challenging. By understanding more about dementia the training helps people to cope better with supporting the individual.
The training also provides an opportunity for those supporting a person with dementia to talk openly in a friendly and confidential environment, about their experiences and the impact it is having on them.
