Dementia…Life Goes On
The video is a coproduction between Alzheimer’s Society Creative Brand Engagement team, Wakefield Dementia Support Services and Voices Together( Wakefield Dementia Voice Group) members. The idea evolved from conversations in the group, followed by focus group and planning discussions.
Voices Together members wanted people going through dementia diagnosis to understand receiving a dementia diagnosis is not end of life, helping them to adjust to the new life.
They also made this video for professionals and public to understand the challenge of receiving a life changing diagnosis.

What is dementia?
‘Dementia’ describes a group of symptoms that include problems with memory, thinking or language, and changes in mood, emotions, perception and behaviour. Dementia is a progressive disease, which means symptoms may be relatively mild at first, but they get worse over time. There are many types of dementia but Alzheimer’s disease is the most common. The next most common is vascular dementia.
