Partnership in iSupport

Most people living with dementia are cared for by their family members or friends and may feel unprepared for this role.
 
Partnership in iSupport is a self-help tool for informal carers offered as an online learning program.

iSupport manual

The iSupport manual includes six modules and accompanying exercises.
 
The modules are designed for you to either work through consecutively or select those most relevant to your caring needs. Feel free to print the manual and additional resources, or components of both, for later reference.
