Free dementia training sessions are being offered in Enfield this month.

To start off this year’s Dementia Action Week, which runs from 19th-25th May, Home Instead Enfield is offering a series of free training sessions.

The sessions will help those caring for a loved one better with dementia better understand the condition and learn how to provide meaningful support. They will provide “valuable insights” to help reduce stress and improve quality of life for those affected.

Home Instead Enfield, which has been providing care-at-home services in Enfield for over ten years, is a member of the Enfield Dementia Network, working to make Enfield a more dementia friendly society.

This month’s free sessions will take place on Saturday 17th from 2.30pm-4.30pm at Southgate Leisure Centre and on Thursday 22nd from 6.30pm-8.30pm at John Jackson Library in Bush Hill Park.

The training is a condensed version of Home Instead’s City and Guilds-accredited Care Professional Training Programme which is rolled out across the network.
