Events and Seminars

It will be bringing together different contributions from both informal and professional carers to share their experiences and will be looking at the way memory loss raises fears of disappearing connections in us all.

We will also explore how being alongside those who are marginalised and impacted by loss of memory are empowered by the use of reminiscence groups, music and the arts.

We will discuss how we can learn as a community about a shared narrative of loss associated with memory difficulties leading to deepening attachments, and the renewal of emotional bonds with the creation of new meanings.

The conference welcomes people working in the voluntary sector, nurses, doctors, social workers, community care workers, informal carers, psychologists, counsellors, students, psychotherapists, and others who are interested in exploring this theme with us.
