Adapt films
This series of films was created by YoungDementia UK in 2019 to help educate and inform people about young onset dementia. We hope they will be of particular use and interest to people who have been newly diagnosed and those who support them.
The films were funded by DEEP and the Shanly Foundation and are available for use by anyone who would like to share them, particularly at training courses, events and conferences.
