The life that we show in social media has turned into posting, ! ! ! :-)

Edward A from Marton

The life that we show in social media has turned into posting photos and showing something that sometimes does not exist or correspond to reality. I decided to follow the suggestion of a friend, who’s life has changed dramatically and participate in an experiment called "A Gathering of Friends."

The idea is to see who reads posts without a photo. If nobody reads this message, it will be a brief social experiment, but if you read it, I want you to post a comment with one word about me, such as a place that reminds you of me, an object, a moment, then copy this text to your wall and I'll leave a word that makes me think of you.

Please do not comment if you do not have time to copy the text on your wall, I understand we are all busy, but it would spoil the experiment.

Changing the conversation around dementia

Julia Wallace Retirement Village

Reducing stigma starts with the words we use, and shifting the way we talk about dementia is a powerful step forward. This World Alzheimer’s Month, Ryman is highlighting the importance of reducing the discrimination caused by stigma surrounding people living with dementia.

Caroline Bartle, Ryman’s Dementia Care and Innovations Lead, says that using appropriate language when referring to people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can foster a more inclusive society. This not only benefits those experiencing cognitive decline but also their families and the wider community.
