Carers Support

Information Evenings

We provide monthly information evenings and support sessions on a range of topics relevant to dementia. We ask people to suggest topics that they might find helpful and we identify a speaker and organise the evening around this. Previous events have been held in Oatlands College Stillorgan Co. Dublin.

Memory Harbour Service

Carers also have full access to the Memory Harbour service[link to Memory Harbour page]. An Occupational Therapist is available here to meet carers on a one to one basis or with family members to offer advice and guidance. Education programmes can be carried out here also - for example, Memory Rehabilitation group where a person with early dementia and a carer can participate in a four-week programme.

Peer-to-peer support

We organise various activities which allow carers to receive peer-to-peer support. All activity groups provide an opportunity for carers to meet and chat with each other and enable them to build networks of support.

Social events

We run Tea dances, Christmas parties and other social events are run on a regular basis giving the person with dementia and their family members the opportunity to enjoy some fun time together and to connect with others.
