This Mindfulness Based Living with Dementia Course starts on WEDNESDAY, 7th APRIL 2021 at 10.30 am.

This Free-of-Charge 16-week Mindfulness Based Living with Dementia Course is specifically designed to help those who are unpaid carers of people living with dementia. The course can help you support yourself in difficult circumstances by reducing stress levels and compassionately enhance your interactions with the person living with dementia. The content of the courses combines recognised mindfulness skills, person centred dementia care, and neuroscience.

Mindfulness is a simple yet effective technique of living in the present moment which everyone can learn and which can enable participants to gain more enjoyment from life in challenging circumstances. Each weekly live session of this course is 60 to 90 minutes in duration and is an integral part of the full course to ensuring that you receive the full benefits of the course from the very first week.

Once you have registered to participate in the course, you will be sent an email in the near future providing you with the Zoom web-link for joining the weekly live online sessions. Please remember to check your 'junk mail', folder if it is not in your inbox.

Is this Mindfulness Living Course suitable for you at this time?
The course is suitable for most people, and teaches skills and practices designed to help with the difficulties of everyday living whilst caring for someone living with dementia. Some participants will have particular issues which motivate them to join the course, such as pain, anxiety or illness; others are simply interested in improving their quality of life.

This is the time to consider whether the course is right for you at this time, and if you have any doubts, please contact us and we will give you more information about the course, to help you to make this decision.

Please note that that whilst this mindfulness course can provide major benefits in helping better manage stress and worry, it is not intended to be a treatment for mental health problems. If you have recently received or are currently receiving treatment from a psychiatrist, psychotherapist or counsellor for an ongoing mental health issue, we strongly advise that you obtain approval from your mental health professional before proceeding further with this course at this time.

Also, if you have recently or are currently going through a traumatic life event such as the death of a close family member or friend, or major illness in addition to the dementia, this may not be the right time for you to continue with this course. This very much depends on your current psychological health and the support networks that you have around you, such as friends, family and mental health professionals whom we recommend your consult with regarding your participation on the course.

If you are currently taking medication for a mental health problem, then we recommend that you do not change your medication, other than in close collaboration with your medication prescriber.

If any of these circumstances apply to you, then if you have not done so already, please contact Peer 2 Peer mindfulness before the course begins to discuss your situation and the support networks you have in place and to explore how you can best be supported during the course.
