[Report] A Conversation with People Impacted by Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia
Dementia, often misunderstood and shrouded in stereotypes, impacts individuals in diverse ways. This report aims to shed light on these variances, exploring how those living with dementia navigate their lives, the support systems they rely on, and their aspirations; to unearth not just the challenges they face but also the opportunities for joy, independence, and dignity in their everyday lives.
By engaging directly with individuals, and those closely connected to them, this report captures a holistic view of their experiences. Through this report, we invite you as readers, whether you are part of the nonprofit sector, the business community, or an individual with a heart for making a difference, to join us on this enlightening journey. Let's explore together what it means to live with dementia and how we can collectively contribute to a world that respects, supports, and celebrates individuals in all their diversity.
