Sarah’s story – “Dementia UK was our saving grace”
Sarah reflects on reaching crisis point when her husband, David, was diagnosed with young onset dementia and the support her family have since received from Dementia UK.
This series of films was created 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.
