People with young onset dementia and their family members wanted for survey into peer support
The Young Dementia Network has launched a survey about peer support for people with young onset dementia.
The aim of the survey is to help the Young Dementia Network understand what’s working in peer support for younger people with dementia, where the gaps are, and how the Network can campaign for change through their messaging, advocacy work and future resources.
Young Dementia Network say:
“A lack of tailored support is one of the biggest challenges for younger people affected by dementia, so connecting with others in a similar situation can make a real difference. Whether through groups, online communities or informal meet‑ups, peer support can reduce isolation, offer practical ideas and create a sense of belonging.
The Young Dementia Network wants to help drive long‑term improvements in tailored support for people affected by young onset dementia. To do this, we need to hear from you (people living with young onset dementia and family members/friends who support someone with young onset dementia). The survey is designed to be anonymous and should take around 10 minutes to complete, depending on how much you would like to say.”
