An estimated 735 people live with dementia in Carlow, and 64,000 people live with the condition in Ireland. 

The Alzheimer Society of Ireland (The ASI) welcomes family carers of loved ones with dementia to attend its upcoming Face-to-Face Family Carer Training Course in Carlow. 

Insights into Dementia provides positive and practical training that aims to develop family carers’ knowledge of Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia and their caring skills to enable them to respond more confidently to their family members’ needs.

The ASI’s Family Carer Training course will take place every Thursday from 21st September until 26th October 2023, inclusive, from 7 pm to 9.30 pm in The Alzheimer Society of Ireland Daycare, Bethany House Daycare, Barrack Street, Carlow, R93 F8K3

This is the first time The ASI’s Face-to-Face Family Carer Training will be held in Carlow. 

ASI Family Carer Training Coordinator Christine Carr said: “Becoming a carer for a loved one with dementia is a life-changing experience. We look forward to seeing the Family Carer Training take place in County Carlow and welcome family carers of people living with dementia in the region to sign up for the course.”
