Cuppa and a Chat Group - new dementia café

28 Sep 2017 - 11:06 by michelle.foster

Do you have memory problems? Do you care for someone with dementia or want to know more about dementia? Come and join Dementia Support Advisors, Admiral Nurses and Alzheimer's Society for a cuppa and a chat.

The Cuppa and a Chat group is to be held every Friday 1-3pm starting 29 September 2017 at Chorlton Health Centre 1 Nicolas Road, Manchester, M21 9NJ.

It is essentially a dementia café which will be facilitated by Dementia Support Advisors, Admiral Nurses and Alzheimer’s Society Support Workers.

The idea of the group is to bring people with a diagnosis of dementia and their carers together in the community. It will be a ‘safe’ place for people to come and get support and information from professionals and other people in similar situations.

Peer support is one of the keys to living well with dementia, we aim to emphasise that individuals with dementia and their carers are not alone in coping with the disease.

The new dementia café aims to help reduce stigma about having or talking about dementia, so that people don’t miss opportunities for support and inclusion. This will be done by giving recognition, status and attention to people with a diagnosis of dementia, their carers and their illness.

The new dementia café also aims to provide education, practical support, information about local services and opportunities for questions, sharing experiences and social interactions in a relaxed and friendly environment.

For further information, contact Gary or Alex on 0161 882 1104.
