Now translated and adapted for use by South Asian Carers in the UK
‘iSupport is an online, self-directed, educational programme for informal dementia carers, which was originally developed by The World Health Organisation. A team at UCL has translated and adapted iSupport for use by South Asian carers in the UK, in collaboration with carers, healthcare professionals and community/carer organisations.
The course is organised into five modules:
- Introduction to dementia
- Being a carer
- Self-care
- Providing everyday care
- Dealing with changes that might happen in people with dementia.
It’s available in English, Bengali, Punjabi and Urdu via the UCL website: www.ucl.ac.uk/pals/research/clinical-educational-and-health-psychology/research-groups/isupport-south-asian-dementia
On the website you can also find downloadable posters, which provide a summary of each module.
