Unseen and Devastating Challenges Faced by Children of Parents Living with Dementia in Sub Saharan Africa

Repost: In this inspirational episode Juliah sat down with Andrias Mungundu, an newly registered nurse and an advocate for dementia rights and education in Namibia.   Since his mother’s experiences with dementia Andrias has worked with organisations and government to overcome the stigma of dementia in African communities where people are often accused of witchcraft.   His mother’s experiences with lack of understanding and treatment had massive impacts on the family, but Andrias was determined to support his family   He espouses very human and sympathetic ways to care for people with dementia, arguing that they need the same sort of patience we have for small children as they need to be cared for how they cared for their families in life.   So listen in and be inspired by Andrias and his journey.   Find Andrias here:   LinkedIn:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/mangundu-andrias-54b91a246/   Follow Juliah Ratladi/Dementia Caregivers Corner Podcast on social media:   Instagram: https://instagram.com/dementiacaregiverscorner?utm_source=qr&igshid=MzNlNGNkZWQ4Mg%3D%3D   LinkedIn:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliah-ratladi-dementia-care-awareness/   Twitter:   https://twitter.com/DementiaCorner   Podcast Facebook Page:   https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087493920768         Do you want to be a guest? email us on: [email protected]   Dementia caregivers` Corner Podcast is available on the following platforms   Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dementiacaregiverscorners-podcast/id1710778347    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6JeVOQteK08zsc7PTkRNTT   Podbean: https://feed.podbean.com/dementiacaregiverscorner/feed.xml   Amazon Music/Audible: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/c6e17ee2-f194-4eae-b906-a854078dd530   TuneIn/Alexa: https://feed.podbean.com/dementiacaregiverscorner/feed.xml   iHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/125013574   Player FM: https://player.fm/series/3517995    Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/dementiacaregiverscorners-podc-5494017
