Such a privilege once again, to witness people with dementia coming together for the first time feeling safe to pipe up without feeling stupid or that they'll be interrupted or corrected or struggle to get the right words out - a space to get a word in edgeways! @louiseheatley.bsky.social
Day one of yet another #AGoodLifeWithDementia course in #eastriding started today. As ever- nervous, joyous, insightful, shared learning amongst peers with dementia. Just brilliant. This is the ‘backbone of the recovery model!’
