Dementia training and education

Mindalo offers practical dementia training across Africa. Our sessions help health workers, carers and communities recognise dementia earlier and care for people with dignity. Good training matters because many people meet dementia for the first time with no preparation. Every session is planned to be useful the very next day.

Who it is for

  • Community health workers
  • Nurses, doctors and other clinical staff
  • Care home and home care staff
  • Faith and community leaders
  • Families and carers

What we cover

  • What dementia is, and the main types
  • Spotting early signs, and when to refer
  • Talking with people who have dementia
  • Care that puts the person first and protects their dignity
  • Caring for people with dementia and other conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure
  • Supporting families, and tackling stigma and myths
