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.
A powerful listen at the end of a busy week - she's saying what we all know and have known for a long time.

Prevention sits at the core of our work, while we can do nothing to halt the progression of #dementia, we can support #family #caregivers in #greatermanchester to stay well within their caring role, enabling families to stay together at home for longer, avoiding carer breakdown and associated costs.

We've been delivering Empowered Conversations at Salford Royal for a few years.
The #course offers attendees a space to pause and think about #communication, get #curious around how #dementia impacts on a person's ability to communicate and then try out some new ways to #connect.
Great feedback!
Zita describing how Empowered Carers helps her.
We offer #family #caregivers one to one #dementia focused therapeutic support. Sessions help caregivers to plan and prepare for the changes that come with a dementia diagnosis, keeping carers well and families together in #GreaterManchester.
Have you spotted the new #dementia resources from Skills for Care? Empowered Conversations were delighted to support around the communication films that cover elements of our course.

Empowered Conversations have been working across #GreaterManchester for 10 years offering #family #carers of people with dementia - #dementia focused #communication courses and one to one #therapeutic sessions.
Emma will tell you how this supports her, her mum and her daughter.
When you get asked back to deliver the same course, you know you are doing something right.
"Everything about the course was helpful, and I can take what I've learned and use it with everyone I come into contact with".

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?
We deliver communication courses for professionals supporting people living with dementia. I could bang on about outcomes or what the course will offer you, or I could just share this quote from somebody who has just finished the course! For more information - empowered-conversations.co.uk/at-work/
To recognise #DementiaActionWeek2025 #DAW2025 I'm sharing this quote from a care worker who completed the Empowered Conversations : Professional course in April.
