Caring for someone living with dementia can bring many changes, not only for the person diagnosed but also for family members, friends and carers. Alongside practical challenges, many people experience feelings of grief, loss and emotional adjustment as relationships, roles and daily life evolve.

Join this informative and supportive Uncover the Facts workshop presented by Dementia Australia, Australia's leading source of trusted information, education and support for people living with dementia, their families and carers.

During this session, participants will explore:

  • The different types of change and loss that can occur throughout the dementia journey

  • How grief may be experienced and expressed by family members and carers

  • The emotional impact of dementia on relationships and wellbeing

  • Practical coping strategies to support emotional resilience and self-care

Whether you are supporting a loved one with dementia or seeking a deeper understanding of the emotional aspects of the condition, this workshop offers valuable insights, evidence-based information and compassionate guidance from one of Australia's most respected dementia organisations.

This session provides a safe and supportive opportunity to learn, reflect and connect with others who may be navigating similar experiences.
