De Cafés:
Ceartas is involved in five De Cafés across East Dunbartonshire. The De Cafés are groups for anyone living with, or concerned about, dementia or memory loss. It is an informal setting where people and their carers, partners or family can meet and speak to each other.
As well as providing social support and a chance to swap stories and experiences – the Peer Support Model – De Café is an opportunity to get information from Ceartas and other organisations, as well as updates about what is happening in the world of dementia.
De Café aims to:
- Provide a relaxed and informal environment where people can talk to each other about some of the issues they face living with dementia.
- Provide information about dementia and local services for people affected by dementia
- Prevent isolation for people affected by dementia.
- Encourage peer-led Collective Advocacy, and promote access to Independent Advocacy and carer support services at an early stage.
