Pete Hill and Anthea Rowan Discuss Dementia and Media on The 'D' Word

Talking to people, one of the most important things is in terms of a caregiver, is actually learning to communicate, because it's almost like starting from the beginning again, you're going to learn a kind of new language you know and a new way of speaking, and when you do do that, it can be, you know, really valuable.
Ever wondered how the media shapes our understanding of dementia? In this episode of The 'D' Word, host Pete Hill sits down with journalist Anthea Rowan to tackle this pressing issue. Pete opens up about his own experiences with his mother's dementia, shedding light on the emotional and practical challenges faced by caregivers. The conversation dives into the often casual language people use when discussing dementia and why it's crucial to change this narrative.
Anthea brings her journalistic perspective, exploring how media coverage can either help or hinder public awareness and understanding of brain health. Together, they highlight the importance of preserving memories and the profound impact COVID-19 has had on dementia patients. Whether you're a caregiver, a family member, or simply interested in brain health, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt stories that resonate deeply. Tune in for a candid discussion that underscores the need for greater awareness and sensitivity around dementia.
