CROSSROADS CARE - DISC - DEMENTIA INFORMATION AND SUPPORT FOR CARERS

DISC is for carers and family members of people living with Dementia.

It is an 8 week programme of weekly sessions which aims to do the following:
• Improve your knowledge about Dementia
• Improve your confidence as a carer
• Give you practical information and advice about local services to help you and the person you care for
• Help you and the person you care for to plan the future
• Help you to prepare well for hospital visits, stays and discharges
• Help you to get the most out of your GP surgery
• Offer advice to improve the safety of your home and the person you care for
• Look after YOU and your wellbeing
• Help you and the person you care for to live well with Dementia
• Offer you follow-on support after DISC

Crossroads (Barnsley) and Making Space are offering this course to a maximum of 16 carers, over an 8 week period.  Each session will take place between 1pm and 3pm each day At Crossroads (Barnsley) Ltd offices at Maple House.
Contact us for more information about the course and upcoming dates.

We recognise that it can be difficult for many carers to attend events like this, without the person that they care for being with them. Free home care support is available from Crossroads Barnsley. It is important to us for carers to relax at each session knowing the person that they care for is being supported at home.

If you need this home care support, please mention this when booking a place.
