I love how this chart shows the many different conditions which sit under the umbrella term โ€˜dementiaโ€™. So many need awareness raising! #Dementia #FTD #EndFTD

Time for #Blog #14. Iโ€™m talking about the present and Iโ€™ve explained how mums symptoms have changed. I found it hard writing this, it was a complete reality check.

There is one simple aim with this: Connect young adults who support their parents living with dementia, to enable them to learn and support each other and just have a chat with a mate who โ€œgets itโ€ over their preferred drink of choice โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿท๐Ÿป
