Understanding Dementia Workshops 2026: Practical Support for Carers in Ealing
Caring for someone with dementia can feel overwhelming at times. You’re learning as you go, balancing emotions, appointments, and everyday life. That’s why local initiatives like the Understanding Dementia Workshops 2026 are so valuable for families across Ealing and the surrounding areas.
These free, six-week workshops offer practical advice, shared experiences and a safe space to ask questions. And if you’ve missed the first few sessions, don’t worry, there’s still time to join the remaining dates.
Where and When?
Mondays, 12pm–2pm
Location: Church of the Ascension (HA9 9QL)
Or join online via Microsoft Teams.
You’re welcome to attend all sessions or just the ones most relevant to you.
Workshop Schedule

Even though the series has already begun, there’s real benefit in joining at any point. Each session stands alone while building on shared themes.
What You Can Expect
These workshops are designed to be practical, not clinical. You’ll gain:
- Clear guidance on navigating social care systems
- Advice on reducing falls risk and supporting physical health

- Insight into behaviours that can feel confusing or distressing

At Home Instead Ealing, we understand that dementia affects the whole family. Alongside professional home care support, we always encourage families to connect with community resources, workshops and local initiatives that provide education and reassurance.
Knowledge builds confidence. Confidence reduces stress. And feeling supported makes a real difference, not just for the person living with dementia, but for you as well.
