Service news and events
Reconnect is a new Rethink service which started in Somerset on 1st January 2008 and in North Somerset, Bournemouth and Poole from 1st March 2008.
Events
We have been holding a number of information sessions, open to health and social care professionals and the general public.
The sessions aim to introduce this new floating support service, give people the opportunity to meet the team and explain what the service can offer and how to access it.
Further dates will be advertised here soon but in the meantime if you would like further information, contact reconnect@rethink.org or phone 01823 365305.
News
On 6th December 2007 Rethink staff attended a Dementia conference in Taunton which had some excellent speakers and workshops.
We were pleased to be asked by Somerset County Council to host a stand at this event which gave staff an opportunity to promote both Rethink and our new Reconnect Floating Support Service. It also gave us the opportunity to make contact with a broad range of other professionals and organisations who we hope to work with to improve our support to individuals with dementia and their carers.
