Supporting the Dementia Journey

Are you caring for someone with dementia?

Liverpool City Council have commissioned PSS to deliver the Supporting the Dementia Journey training for carers who reside in the Liverpool area and are caring for a person with dementia. This training is free of charge to informal carers (this could be a family member, friend or neighbour). The course aims to help participants achieve a greater understanding of dementia and look at how we can continue to support people with dementia and their carers.
