Tom, a 25-year-old police officer, has been involved with the Dementia Service of the Malteser in Saarbrücken for a year and a half. He emphasizes that dementia is not just a disease of the affected individuals, but also of their caregivers.

The training aims to teach volunteers how to support and encourage people with dementia in their independence. It covers different forms of dementia and how to handle them.
