Do you live in Salford?  Empowered Conversations is part of Age UK Salford’s Dementia Support Service. The Service now offers more support than ever to people in Salford affected by dementia. Caregivers want a simple, one-stop-shop of support from a diagnosis through to bereavement and beyond. Dementia Support Service provides this, from one-to-one online person-centred counselling & coaching support for carers, peer support and social groups for people affected by dementia through to a learning hub for self-development that includes training on legal and finance, carers rights, personal care and improving communications.

Do you live in Greater Manchester?  Our communication courses (Empowered Conversations and Moving Beyond Words) are both freely available to any family caregiver of people living with dementia.  Our one to one therapeutic support (Empowered Carers) is also available, you can have 3 free sessions to see if it is right for you and then use your carers personal budget and/or self fund future sessions.  For more information – Empowered Carers – Empowered Conversations (empowered-conversations.co.uk)

Do you live outside of Greater Manchester but want to access Empowered support?  You can join our courses for £150 per course and you can access Empowered Carers by self funding or using your carers personal budget.  

We understand that tips, advice and experiences from people caring for loved ones with dementia can make you feel less alone. Check out our videos and blogs, please get in touch if you’d like to share your experience to help others.

“We knew something wasn’t right with mum, but we thought we could sort it out. I’m a doer and usually I make people’s lives better. At the time we were constantly correcting her which just highlighted her fading memories. We realised that we were making her situation worse”.
