Dementia Awareness Sessions

We can provide free, informal Dementia Awareness sessions to individuals, community groups, schools and organisations. This training helps you to better understand the condition and how you might better communicate with those living with dementia.

The sessions are online, email foddc.daa@outlook.com telling us which of the sessions you would like to attend. Include your name, telephone number and where in Gloucestershire you live. We will send you joining instructions when you email us to book.

Community Dementia Link Course

If you have attended a Dementia Awareness Session, have work or have personal experience and you would like to learn more about dementia, a Community Dementia Link course may be for you.

It is a 12 hour course spread over four sessions. There are no tests and it is informal, aiming to provide you with information in a relaxed atmosphere.

During Covid-19 lockdown we have developed this course online but it is eight hours over four online sessions, with videos and resources to look at between sessions.

This is a very friendly enabling way to develop your knowledge and skills of dementia.

If you would like more information, please email foddc.daa@fdean.gov.uk or phone 01594 812609.
