What's In A Name? Taking a look at the language around 'dementia'

The language we use is vital for shaping the way we think and feel about things. This blog is taken from an essay by tide Head of Delivery, Sarah Merriman, who is studying Dementia Studies at Hull University.

One in Four Across England Provide Support for Someone with Dementia

A new survey which polled 4,027 across England has found that one in four people are supporting someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia by; providing company or someone to talk to (54%), helping with shopping and meal preparation (33%), house cleaning/maintenance (29%) and contacting healthcare professionals (27%).1 These were the results of the ‘Keeping Alzheimer’s Front of Mind’ survey which was funded by Roche Products Ltd in partnership with the charity, together in dementia everyday (tide).

Setting Up a Peer-Support Group

There is one word we hear frequently when we ask what members of our network are looking for; Recognition.

Sharing your thoughts, feelings and experiences with other people who are going through something similar can be powerful and can motivate you to use your skills or experiences to be creative and make a difference in your local community.

The idea of creating your own support group can be daunting, especially if you already have a full-time job, family and caring responsibilities. However, it can provide a release and a purpose which can improve your sense of well-being and help others.

This session gives examples from carers who have done it themselves and includes how to get started, format, structure, benefits, challenges and top tips. Read more

“Caring is a bit like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces symbolize the challenges that carers face on a daily basis, some larger and awkward, while others are corner pieces that fit perfectly. tide is the physical building together of the jigsaw, interlocking all the disconnected pieces, when assembled produce a complete picture"
