Do you care for someone living with dementia?

The University of Manchester is looking for family and unpaid carers to take part in its Empowered Conversations study.

Changes in thinking and memory can sometimes make communication more difficult for people living with dementia and those who care for them. This can lead to frustration, stress and low mood for everyone involved.

💬 Empowered Conversations is a free 6-session course designed to help carers develop practical ways to:

❤️ Maintain positive relationships
🗣️ Communicate more effectively
🤝 Feel more confident when conversations become difficult
💡 Better understand communication changes associated with dementia

If you support a family member, friend or loved one living with dementia, you may be eligible to take part.

Please see the poster below for further information and details of how to get involved.
