Living well with dementia - English version

Our Trust recently launched a film specifically aimed at South Asian families affected by dementia.

The DVD seeks to address cultural issues, that previous information has not covered, which play a crucial role in families being able to cope with a dementia diagnosis.

The gaps in information relate to the South Asian community and the Trust has decided to tackle this by producing the DVD which takes account of the different social and cultural issues.

The film features contributions and stories from service users and carers and explores what it is like to live with dementia, the associated difficulties, coping strategies as well as sources of support and advice.

Dementia is horrid, I feel sorry for my grandma who had it, I also feel sorry for other people who have it!.
