This is a Brochure for professionals, carers and service providers who wish to learn more about sharing or referring the CARER tool to their clients, family or friend carers, peers and friends, so they can self-help and guide themselves through the dementia journey.

Dementia care is a ‘maze’ and ‘utterly confusing’ for people living with dementia and their carers. They are lost trying to make sense of endless online searches. If you have clients, friends or patients living with dementia, you can help them by referring the My Dementia Companion CARER tool.

Feedback:
- Husband: ‘I have done other dementia training, which is more academic. This is much more practical and useful day to day, such as labelling cupboards, accepting respite and more.’
- Daughter: ‘I guess everyone’s journey is different but the one thing we all feel is overwhelmed and perhaps a little lost, not knowing what’s out there that can help us, I am grateful for this tool, all in the one place, thank you so much 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼’
