"Hello, and welcome to The Care & Dementia Podcast! I'm your host, Gemma Clay, and in today's episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s so important but often overlooked – how to support children and young people living in families affected by dementia.
Did you know that by 2025, one million people will be living with dementia in the UK? Many of these families include children who are trying to make sense of this confusing and sometimes heartbreaking journey.
That’s why, today, we’re thrilled to have Hannah Gardner with us. Hannah is a Consultant Admiral Nurse for Children and Young People at Dementia UK, and she’ll be sharing her invaluable expertise on how to support young people navigating the challenges of a loved one’s dementia diagnosis.
In this episode, Hannah will offer practical advice on how to provide emotional support, where to find helpful resources, and answer some of your most pressing questions. Whether you're a parent, carer, or simply looking to better understand how dementia affects the younger generation, this conversation is for you.
