In an eldercare field that’s populated with unseen and unsung heroes, family members of people living with dementia can often feel the most isolated and underrepresented.
In the Greater Manchester area of the United Kingdom, Empowered Conversations creates safe, brave spaces for small cohorts of people on the caregiving journey to take a step away from their day-to-day stresses and struggles. By providing new skills and a non-judgmental forum for caregivers to openly sharetheir emotions, the program brings real benefits for both caregivers and people living with dementia alike.
Empowered Conversations project manager Emma Smith joins the podcast to discuss the program, share some best practices, and encourage family caregivers to care for themselves as much as they do for their loved ones.
