Topic outline

  • Home Based Care - Home Based Education

    This course is aimed at supporting carers who are looking after a member of their own family who has been diagnosed with dementia. It is an interactive, and participatory course that needs to be facilitated by a skilled and knowledgable tutor. The course has been built with an Irish audience in mind. But the themes are universal and should be relevant in many jurisdictions.

  • Week 1: Welcome and Induction

    Notice regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19)

    This course offers practical information and emotional support about caring for a family member with dementia. Our tutor can also provide you with reminders and tips about the HSE advice regarding Coronavirus.  However, we cannot offer personalised medical advice. Please contact the Health Service Executive or your GP if you require specific advice about Coronavirus. Thank you.
