Living with Dementia

Living with Dementia

Dementia is a feared word in today’s society. It is normal to experience an array of emotions after receiving a diagnosis. The fear and stigma surrounding dementia makes envisioning a meaningful future where your strengths are valued seem impossible. Today, 5 million people in the US are living with dementia. New perspectives and approaches to support individuals living with dementia are needed today more than ever. Dementia is complex and can hold challenges but also opportunities for experiencing joy and learning.
