Dementia & Alzheimer's after 40
For many people over 40, dementia first becomes a personal subject through a parent, relative or friend. For others, it is part of their own life. The conversation can involve family roles, shared history, work and hopes for the future.
This topic explores the human side of those experiences: relationships, identity and the meaning of familiar moments. It recognises the perspectives of people living with dementia as well as those close to them, without allowing a diagnosis to stand in for the person and their life story.
