Alzheimer's, Society

This training resource uses series of monologues from people with dementia and their carers to promote discussion and increase awareness of the problems they face. The monologues are brought to life by the actors Godfrey Jackman and Pam Lyne, using the words of the writers or speakers. A CD-ROM includes a set of facilitators' notes based on the Alzheimer's Society's interpretation of the films and their relevance to the support of people with dementia and their carers.

This booklet provides some background information about dementia, its causes and symptoms, and gives practical advice on how to help someone with dementia, especially in the early stages. Information on support services and useful organisations are also provided.
