Expressions of interest invited for booklet on intimate relationships and dementia
Symbiosia, a UK social enterprise, are applying for funding from the EMPOWER Dementia Network+ to develop a booklet on intimate relationships and dementia and are inviting expressions of interest in this work.
The aim of the booklet will be to raise public awareness of ‘sexual coercion within relationships affected by dementia whilst living at home’ and provide context and guidance.
Symboisia say:
“Many people living with dementia and their partners experience fulfilling sexual relationships. However, some may feel pressured into intimacy by their partner living with dementia. This is one of the most overlooked and emotionally complex realities of heterosexual or same sex partner/spousal relationships at home. If you are interested in this topic, we would love to hear from you.”
