DementiaSA provides support for families caring for loved ones living with dementia. We operate a Virtual Support Group only for family members. We have trained councellors who can assist when facing the challenges of all types of dementia. DementiaSA provides awareness and educational material via its website. We have training courses offered in person in Cape Town but are able to present anywhere in SA at an additional cost to cover travelling, food allowance and accommodation. Our training courses are HPCSA and SACSSP accredited. We have a number of webinars on YouTube that were recorded during Covid Lockdown.
