The Dementia Workforce Project
Investigating how the physical and mental health of dementia social care workers impacts their resilience. We are aiming to explore resilience in the dementia social care workforce as part of a wider project, specifically how the physical and mental health of dementia social care workers impacts their resilience. Find out more.
Exploring resilience in the dementia social care workforce through interviews. The aim of the study is to identify and explore the resources (e.g. psychological characteristics, social support, etc) that social care workers draw on to manage the stresses associated with their roles. Understanding what helps and sustains carers in their roles may go some way to improving social care working conditions and lessening the burden felt on social care workers for people with dementia.

We are looking for volunteers who:

Want to contribute to positive change?
