 ide support to people living with dementia\, to gain help with dementia ca
 re through unique and innovative cultural resources.\n\nWorkshops at the M

 taken all over the UK\, and last year it was specially developed to provid
 e support and resources to carers looking after close friends or family.\n
 \nCarol Rogers\, Executive Director of Education and Visitors\, said: “W
 e have trained more than 10\,000 carers across the UK\, setting up our fir
 st workshops for family carers in Liverpool last year\, to provide them wi
 th new ideas and perspectives on caring for their loved ones. Person-centr
 e care is at the heart of our workshops\, and acknowledges that an individ
 ual’s personal history and memory is of huge importance.\n\n“We know t
 hat dementia is an emotional subject to talk about\, particularly if it af
 fects a person you love. When you’re caring for someone on a daily basis
 \, it can be hard to see past the every day tasks. We have received some i
 ncredible feedback from previous workshops\, and we hope people will take 
 the opportunity to join us so we can steer them in a positive direction\, 
 and help improve the lives of those they care for who are living with deme
 ntia.”\n\nThe Department of Health has commissioned National Museums Liv
 erpool’s House of Memoriesprogramme\, to develop a national programme fo
 r family carers and community volunteers in three regions across England\,
