Better Living with Non-memory led Dementia programme
an 8-week duration 6-module educational programme covering the following topics: 1) Welcome to the programme and what to expect from it; 2) Understanding the disease; 3) How to provide better support for the person with dementia; 4) How to look after the caregiver's own mental health; 5) Where to find additional sources of support, and 6) An introduction to the value of support groups. At the end of modules 2, 3, and 4, participants will be asked to complete a real-life task to put in practice skills learned in the specific module (e.g., approaching a friend and explaining the disease in lay terms). The first session (onboarding) will be facilitated via Zoom by one of the members of the research team. Up to 3 total interactions between facilitators and participants will be offered to support participants' engagement with the programme. All course modules will be printable using the pdf download button on the programme's page.
