How we can support you
Living positively with Dementia
Please watch the lived experiences of Sue Beeson, who had support from the Early Intervention and Dementia Service. She has made two videos about her feelings and experiences after a diagnosis of dementia. She talks about how she manages with the diagnosis and what has helped her to have an inspirational, positive attitude towards life.
