Dementia is more than just forgetting. The Dementia and (N)u program aims to help family caregivers better understand and cope with dementia. During a maximum of six to seven meetings, participants discuss themes such as empathy for the changing perception and behavior, dealing with care, communication, control issues, safety and self-care. Participants experience recognition and support during these meetings. If desired, participants can join the fellow sufferers contact after the training.
