Many family dementia carers find it impossible to remain in the workforce and balance their caring responsibilities.
Our recent survey confirmed that 48% of the carers who responded, would have remained in employment longer with additional support from their employer.
Employment doesn’t just have the obvious economic benefits for a carer but also forms a sense of identity and purpose.
In this live session, we are joined by Dr Gemima Fitzgerald and professionally qualified executive coach Dawn Newey to discuss the various factors that can be problematic for carers when returning to work, and how the experience of being a carer can be beneficial to this process.
