Through our eyes – A life with dementia
The third DVD produced by the group features seven members of the SDWG and enables viewers to see what it’s like to live life with dementia from the perspective of people with dementia.
It is intended primarily for use as a training and awareness-raising tool amongst professionals at all levels within the health and social care sectors working in dementia care, but it can be used effectively in awareness-raising with all allied health professionals and the general public.
It can also be used with people recently diagnosed with dementia to help them realise that they are not alone and the importance of keeping as involved and as active as possible. Members are frank about their feelings at diagnosis which may also resonate with others newly diagnosed.
