Upcoming Family Carer Training Courses

We offer training to family carers. A family carer is anyone who provides or contributes to the provision of regular, informal care to someone they know, e.g. a spouse, relative, friend, or neighbour. Please see a list of upcoming courses below.

This Family Carer Training programme aims to develop family carers’ knowledge of Alzheimer’s and other dementias, and their caring skills to enable them to respond more confidently to family members’ needs. It also provides opportunities for carers to meet other carers and share their experiences.

Delivered by The Alzheimer Society of Ireland’s experienced staff members, the courses will provide you with new information on dementia and give you time and space to reflect on your own caring experience, whilst listening to and learning from other carers’ experiences.

The courses are delivered in a warm, safe environment where the confidentiality of all is valued and respected.

We deliver the course in both face-to-face and fully online formats. All our upcoming face-to-face courses are listed below.
