Five week online course for people supporting a loved one living with dementia starting 30th September
Wednesdays | 6:30–8:30 pm | Online
Starting Wednesday 30 September | 5 weeks
Following high demand, the course has been condensed into five focused weekly modules, bringing together dementia education, emotional support and practical strategies for everyday life.
The five modules
1. Dementia Education & Emotional Support
Understand what dementia is, how it affects the brain and why changes happen, alongside support for the emotional impact on you and your family.
2. Identity & Adapting
Explore changing roles and relationships, maintaining identity and connection, and adapting to life alongside dementia.
3. Communication & Behaviour
Understand changes in communication and behaviour, what may be driving them, and practical ways to respond with greater confidence.
4. Transitions: Difficult Decisions, Grief & Loss
Explore the difficult decisions and transitions dementia can bring, including anticipatory and ambiguous loss, changing relationships and navigating uncertainty.
5. Resilience & Planning Ahead
Build strategies to protect your own wellbeing, sustain your caring relationship and feel better prepared for what may lie ahead.
Just 5 places available
To maintain the quality, comfort and supportive nature of the group, each course is limited to just five participants.
This creates space for everyone to contribute, ask questions, discuss their own experiences and receive specialist guidance, something that simply isn't possible in a large online webinar.

You can also ask a question using the button below.
Do you support a loved one with dementia? Do you sometimes doubt yourself or experience difficult, confusing emotions?
Supporting someone with dementia can feel lonely. I offer clear, evidence-based guidance drawn from many years working as a Dementia Specialist Nurse, alongside connection with a small group of people walking a similar path.
This 10-week course offers clear education, emotional support, and practical understanding to help you adapt without losing yourself.
Together we explore dementia education, identity and adapting to change, communication and behaviour, emotional transitions, and long-term resilience. Each session builds on the last, so participants are encouraged to commit to the full programme, although I do understand the pressures you face and will accommodate this.
I am more honest with myself regarding my limitations. Rather than pretending that I can cope with anything, I now realise I am only human and concentrate on retaining my identity and my own ambitions, despite my responsibility.
Course participant -2025 - 2026
Anyone supporting someone with dementia would benefit hugely from this course – from the information gained but above all the supportive environment.
Course participant 2025- 2026
I have a far greater understanding of dementia and how it can affect people with dementia and also the people around them. I also have a support network of people I met during the course, and Amy is always available too, so I feel more confident for the future especially given the lack of support from GP’s etc.
