@KateSwaffer A right indeed! The Good Life course addresses that, recognising the potential for RECOVERY from the blow of a diagnosis m.youtube.com/watch?v=XRS4Ah…

@KateSwaffer because we have recently come to realise that their beneficiaries are NOT people with dementia. From 1979 they were founded as a carers organisation - heven't ever really veered too far from that.

@YorkMandV Pity they didn’t spend their money actually supporting people with dementia 🥹🥹

And if you need all that to explain an ad, it must be a really crap ad. It is.

I don’t know who signed off on that multiple death @alzheimerssoc Society ad but is really misguided. It starts with a male voice saying his mum not knowing how to cook his roast dinner meant she” was dead”, which sends an awful message on every level, then goes downhill. My mum died from Alzheimer’s but only once. Everything else was a long goodbye. Painful, devastating but part of the disease. She didn’t die. Older people generally deserve dignity, everyone with dementia need it equally I wish @TimesRadio & any other broadcaster rethinks playing it. It sends the wrong message IMO

Too right!

but the best bit of 10 years of #MindsandVoices was captured this week by Bob picking up on the glorious feeling of coming together again. #belonging #peersupport #welcome #growth #recovery @Innov_Dementia @IMcMillan click on image to see all

So much in 10 yrs of #MindsandVoices = not bad for a bunch of ‘dead’ people! On which note we've met & said say goodbye to Liz, Charlie, Rita, Alison, Stuart, Maria Elena, Elaine, Wendy et al who left #DEEP tracks So, on the shoulders of those giants, ‘Here’s to the next ten!’

We like it too!

@YorkMandV @elhijodevera It’s a wonderful read, and the building block of more research. The description of carrying out a #litreview is a must read!

We remain super proud of our #Dementiaenquirers project dementiaenquirers.org.uk/projects/minds… the pros,cons & particular needs of those living alone and those with a care partner @Innov_Dementia @elhijodevera
