As a carer for a person living with dementia, the needs of the person you care for will often come before your own. You may experience a range of difficult emotions and you may not have the time to do all the things you need to do. Caring can have a big impact on both your mental and physical health, as well as your overall wellbeing.
Looking after yourself means you will be in a better position to continue to care for the person affected, and keeping yourself healthy – physically, mentally and emotionally – can also help you to have a better relationship with them.
Our next expert Q&A will be on living well as a carer. It will be hosted by Angelo from our Knowledge Services team, who focuses on wellbeing. He’ll be answering your questions about how to look after yourself and what support is available for you on Thursday 29 August between 3-4pm.
Don’t think you’ll be able to make it? Feel free to post your question on this thread, or if you prefer you can send your question to talkingpoint@alzheimers.org.uk and we’ll be happy to ask them on your behalf.
We hope to see you here on Thursday
