Do you care or support a person living with dementia? (South Eastern Trust area)

Alzheimer's Society is delivering a free Carer Information and Support Programme (CrISP) in the South Eastern Trust area. This 5 week programme provides information about dementia and an opportunity to talk with others in a small group of no more than 12.

What people have said after attending these workshops.
