LIVING WELL WITH DEMENTIA - DEMENTIA AWARENESS SESSION:

We had a wonderful turnout on the evening of Monday the 3rd September for the presentation/talk by dementia specialist nurse Serena Jones.

More than eighty people \ttended from all areas of our local community, the session proved very informative and enjoyable. The feedback has been extremely positive and we will continue in our efforts to become a ‘Dementia Friendly Parish.’

For those who could not attend, a copy of the presentation is available just click here.

In the first group exercise attendees were asked to list as many words as they could that they associated with dementia. Most words represented symptoms or were negatives. Serena stressed the importance of changing each negative into a positive.
