Empowered Conversations
@empconvs.bsky.social
We empower families affected by dementia to live as well as they can by delivering evidence based and researched communication courses, one to one dementia focused therapeutic support, regular webinars and a carers voice group.
We delivered an Empowered Conversations course to Salford Royal team members, it offers a chance to #pause, #reflect and get #curious around how #dementia impacts on #communication.
@ageuksandt.bsky.social deliver Empowered Conversations for family affected by #dementia and for professionals.

It's #NationalCarersWeek! Listen to Anne-Marie describe the support provided for family caregivers of people with dementia in Greater Manchester.
Helping carers to stay well makes sense for families, communities, economies and society. Can we move the conversation over to prevention?
