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. All profits from DVD sales go to Scottish Dementia Working Group campaigns to improve services for people with dementia and to improve attitudes towards people with dementia. | £25.00 |
