Globally, most of the care and support for people with dementia is provided by family members and close friends. Many of them find caregiving rewarding, but it often takes a toll on carers’ health and well-being.
In this short video, five carers from different parts of the world share their stories and explain why information and support services for dementia carers are so important.
“Global action plan on the public health response to dementia” calls for countries all over the world to provide support and training to family members and friends of people with dementia. WHO’s iSupport is a training programme for carers of people living with dementia.
