Project description:

This project is designed to boost the general awareness of dementia, of problems caused by this symptom and of the possible approaches to their solution. The project focuses on a wide public as well as the family caregivers, who bear the heaviest burden of the demanding caregiving provided to the people with dementia. The public awareness shall be augmented by a unique concept of the experience course designed as a mobile escape room, and by the interactive exhibition that shall be on display in twelwe towns through the Central Bohemia Region. 

We put the major emphasis on the education of the family caregivers: in order to support them we organize local self-help groups and thematic workshops, we offer various forms of the experience-education in our support centers, as well as a new way of extending their knowledge via the interactive PC game, integrated in the iSupport programme (this programme is presently being implemented into the milieu of the Czech Republic by the Dementia institute in cooperation with the WHO, the Institute of Health Information and 

Statistics of the Czech Republic and with the Ministry of Health). All these activities shall accomplish a substantial positive impact on the timely diagnostics of dementia, reduction of the family caregivers´ burden and on the higher quality of the care provided to the people with dementia.
