EduKation demenz® – A Course for Family Carers
Caring for someone you love who is living with dementia can be both deeply meaningful and incredibly demanding. You might find yourself facing emotional ups and downs, difficult questions, and practical challenges that change from day to day.
EduKation demenz® is a supportive training course designed especially for family members and close carers of someone with dementia. It gives you knowledge, guidance, and practical tools to help you feel more confident and less alone on this journey.
What is EduKation Demenz®?
The name EduKation demenz® comes from the German phrase „Entlastung durch Förderung der Kommunikation bei Demenz“ – which means “relief through improved communication in dementia.” And that’s really the heart of this course: to lighten your load by helping you better understand your loved one and communicate in ways that feel more connecting and less frustrating.
Support Through Better Understanding and Communication
Developed by Professor Dr Sabine Engel at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, this evidence-based programme is rooted in the real-life experiences of carers like you. Since 2006, it has helped many families navigate the changes that dementia brings – with more clarity, compassion, and resilience.
Together we’ll explore:
A deeper understanding of dementia and its impact on daily life
Practical strategies for coping with challenging situations
Improved relationships with your loved one
A stronger sense of connection with others in similar situations
Guidance on navigating your own role as caregiver
