Lifetalks: Free Info Sessions For Families Navigating Care
To support families navigating care for themselves or loved ones, Healthmark is also launching LifeTalks, a series of free in-person info sessions designed to empower people with the knowledge they need to make confident care decisions.
The first session, “How To Access Care and Support Services in Malta”, will take place on 18th September at 5pm at Healthmark Academy in San Ġwann.
The talk will be led by Roslynn Vella, Chief Operations Officer at Hospice Malta and a long-standing social policy expert. With both professional and personal experience – her own mother was diagnosed with early-onset dementia – Roslynn will break down how care services work in Malta, how to find support and what practical steps families can take when navigating complex situations.
The second session, “How To Make Your Home More Dementia Friendly”, will take place on 9th October at 5pm, also at Healthmark Academy in San Ġwann. It will be delivered by Alexia Mercieca, an architect and academic specialising in dementia-friendly design.
Drawing from her research at the University of Edinburgh, Alexia will share smart, accessible ways to improve quality of life at home, whether you’re supporting someone with dementia or simply planning ahead.
Both sessions are free to attend and open to the public.
Lifetalks are supported by the Malta Dementia Society.
