Redefining Dementia

About Redefining Dementia

Just as Person Centred Universe’s educational and consultation work, the aim of the Redefining Dementia Podcast is to strive toward a better world for those affected by dementia. When consuming resources or media about dementia, the focus is often on the challenges, stigma and fear that may accompany a diagnosis of dementia. This podcast seeks to shift that narrative to focus on and celebrate living well with dementia and what that means for caregivers as well. Through the sharing of stories, resources and helpful life experiences, the podcast will look to connect with the audience to provide helpful and meaningful takeaways.
