Support groups
Caring for someone with dementia? You are not alone! Emda's support groups are a safe and secure place to talk about things that may be difficult to talk about in other places, freely and in a safe and supportive atmosphere. The groups allow you to learn about the disease and ways to cope with it. The groups are a place to ask, share, consult and share.
Emda Association's activity kits
The Emda Association's activity kits are a basis for communicating and enjoying joint activities with a person with dementia, developed especially for them. Joint activities help develop the self-image and self-worth of the person with dementia. The Emda Association has developed three kits that are suitable for different stages of the disease.
