À propos de cet audio
This mini episode highlights key points from “Creating Connections with a Dementia Companion” featuring Gina Awad. Gina, who studied Dementia as part of her Health and Social Care degree, is a valuable resource for those living with dementia and their caregivers. She noticed common themes like fear and system navigation during her early information sessions.
Recognizing the need for clear guidance after a dementia diagnosis, Gina emphasized the importance of discussing dementia and providing accessible information to reduce stigma, and she founded the Exeter Dementia Action Alliance. In addition to her information sessions, she created a forum for discussions through her radio show, “Living Better with Dementia” on Sonic FM. A show where her guests share resources, their passion, projects, information and stories.
To further provide information on dementia in a non-intimidating way, Gina authored "United: Caring for our Loved Ones Living with Dementia," a book illustrated by the late Tony Husband that offers an easy-to-read perspective on the realities of dementia.
Gina's insights in this mini episode can be invaluable whether you're involved in caregiving or recently diagnosed with dementia.
