We are pleased to announce that we have received funding to provide additional support for Carers of people with Dementia in Herts, thanks to Hertfordshire Community Foundation and the National Emergencies Trust!!!
Currently all of our sessions are now provided online. In addition to the online music sessions for people in Herts, Music24 now provides a weekly Dementia Carers Support Group which is run via Zoom. These sessions provide a safe space for carers to talk and discuss any struggles or concerns they may have and feel supported by staff and other carers who are sharing similar issues. This group currently alternates each week, on a Wednesday morning, a Friday afternoon and then a Thursday evening. We’ve found that some times are better than others and alternating in this way gives carers an opportunity to engage at a time that suits their caring responsibilities.
Music24 have also set up a weekly EFT Support Group to further support carers. EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique and can be used for anxiety, stress, pain and many other issues, with the aim to find relief and promote relaxation and physical and emotional healing for the individual. It is practical and therapeutic, can be tailored to individual needs and anyone can learn to use this simple technique. It is activated by tapping on the body’s acupuncture points using the finger tips. The EFT group sessions currently run on zoom on Mondays at 10am.
