Catch up on the BBC’s Memories and Dementia season
We’ve been working collaboratively with the BBC as part of their Memories and Dementia: Starting the Conversation season. The programmes aim to stimulate memories with archive content and aid conversations about dementia. Catch them now on iPlayer and BBC Sounds.
Alzheimer’s Society is here to support everyone affected by dementia in adjusting to change and coping as best as possible. April is Stress Awareness month, so take a moment to recognise the challenges of being a carer and remember to care for yourself too.
Carers of people with dementia often experience guilt. This can really impact your wellbeing and ability to handle your responsibilities. It’s important to identify and acknowledge any feelings of guilt so you can start managing and working through them.
Research to support living alone after a dementia diagnosis
In the latest issue of our Dementia Together magazine, we heard from researchers who are looking to understand how people can continue living alone after a dementia diagnosis. This kind of research is essential to improve support for people affected by dementia.
