Funded Activity Summary

While the cognitive, functional and behavioural changes in people with dementia are without doubt stressful for family carers, it may be that the loss of the relationship underlies the burden and feelings of depression that many carers experience. Typically, interventions to alleviate carer stress separate the carer from their relative instead of focusing on improving their relationship. This project aims to train carers to conduct personalised one-to-one activities with their relative.
