Alzheimer’s Society running dementia information evenings

The programme will be lead by Adrian Friel, Dementia Support manager, and take place in the following venues: Garvagh Community Building, February 28; Ballysally Community Centre, March 14; and Bushmills Community Centre, March 21.

Adrian Friel says that these information evenings provide useful information and support for the carer in the mist of a very frightening illness.

They are also useful sessions for people who want to find out more about the illness and what might be available in the local community.

Adrian added: “For too long dementia has been a hidden illness and it is only through carers and their loved ones coming together as a group and being actively involved in their local branch that they have a voice. The Alzheimer’s Society especially welcomes those with a diagnosis to play a more active role in their branch.”

If you are a carer of a loved one with any form of dementia or someone who has been diagnosed with the illness why not come along to these talks and learn more.
