Dementia Carers Information and Support Session (CISS) – Shared Understanding
When someone is diagnosed with dementia their partner and family often have a lot of questions. The Carers Information and Support Sessions aim to give a space for family members, carers and friends to find out more about what dementia is, how dementia affects people and your needs as a carer.
These sessions are run in partnership with Richmond Memory Service. The sessions are just for carers, family members and friends of people newly diagnosed with dementia so that you have space to talk and learn freely and ask the questions you want to ask. Sessions are one off/stand-alone – you are welcome to attend more than one session, but the topics covered at each will be the same.
