Throughout the month of October, the “We Families” Project took place at the Estoril Clinic.
As a team, we witness daily signs of overload and warnings of caregiver exhaustion. At Diaverum, imbued with a culture of “true care”, we created “We Families”, promoted by Social Services, which aims to be a real help for family caregivers.
During 6 sessions, we had the presence of 10 caregivers, and the participation of several guests, namely the coordinated care team from the Estoril clinic and partners, such as Alzheimer Portugal and the Centro Social da Boanova do Estoril.
Over the course of 4 weeks, a space for sharing, mutual help, information and consequently training and empowerment of caregivers was created, with the aim of increasing confidence in providing care and self-care, which is so necessary in these situations.
"We Families" proved that, all together, with the right information and adequate support, we are capable of facing any challenge with strength and resilience. To all participants, we thank you for your dedication and involvement!
