2/2 #AlzChat has rich contributions by @helenfindlay @nursesKidONE @RakheeLb @AlzJoyThruTears @TommyTommytee18 & many more ppl (& families) living with dementia that will become a resource and inspiration for @AlzChat on Bluesky. We'll send reminders and links here in interim

#AlzChat For 15 yrs this community said no one should face dementia alone. TY for every question, story & kindness shared. The platform may change, but compassion, curiosity & hope continue. We look forward to seeing many of you as the chats start next week monthly on Bluesky 1/2

#AlzChat there are more forums around than a few years ago. Ppl have mentioned this one the dementia support forum: forum.alzheimers.org.uk @IRememberBetter

#AlzChat (Yes, we're continuing our online presence over at bsky) Sharing other online resources tonight: Dementia UK offers families practical ideas to improve daily life and free advice from Admiral Nurses. dementiauk.org

#AlzChat Would you recommend a book, website, podcast, YouTube channel or online community that has helped you understand dementia or feel less alone?

yes, Wendy talked a lot about how there was so much life to be lived between the 'diagnosis' and the end stages of dementia- and she did a lot of living! #AlzChat

alzheimers-brace.org/my-stor… these stories reflect a wide rage of experiences in living with dementia #AlzChat

#AlzChat - yes - there are some powerful story tellings of people's experiences and lives through the puppetry work. 🌸

#AlzChat This is another recommended support site for people who care for relatives or have unpaid caring roles. mobiliseonline.co.uk - lots of peer support here. @IRememberBetter

#AlzChat - No, we're not stopping after 15 years of community-led dementia care support network that has actively hosted weekly discussions! We're simply moving the online space to @alzchat.bsky.social on the first Monday of every month. @IRememberBetter

#AlzChat Sometimes the greatest support comes from hearing another family's story. Are there blogs, YouTube channels or podcasts that helped you feel understood? @IRememberBetter

#AlzChat Ppl living with dementia have taught us so much through books, blogs and talks. Their voices continue to challenge stigma and remind us that dementia is only one part of a person's story. @helenfindlay @RakheeLb @AlzJoyThruTears @bethyb1886 @AdrianzWall @IRememberBetter

#AlzChat - and what could be more fitting than this beautiful song by @PaulHitchmough and @TommyTommytee18 'Brave New World' as we change - We are looking forward to continuing @IRememberBetter @KarrieMarshall youtube.com/watch?v=vH9dKe4-…

#AlzChat If you're newly diagnosed or supporting someone who is, NHS provides reliable information about diagnosis, treatments, support and living well with dementia. @IRememberBetter nhs.uk/conditions/dementia/?…
