Music for Dementia showcases services to support care workers during Carers Week
To celebrate Carers Week 2022 which runs from 6-12 June, Music for Dementia is showcasing what services, help and support are available to care workers to "improve their own health and wellbeing.
Research and experience show music can help reduce the distressing symptoms of dementia. But these benefits are not restricted to people living with dementia, they also extend to their loved ones, support workers and professional care workers.
There is strong evidence music stimulates the production of dopamine and certain music can help with sleep and relaxation.
Grace Meadows, campaign director at Music for Dementia said: “Carers Week is a focal point in the calendar when we can stop and celebrate the valuable work of care workers."
