Young Carers: Supporting Children in Families Facing Dementia with Hannah Gardner from Dementia UK

Hannah Gardner a Consultant Admiral Nurse for Children and Young People at Dementia UK discusses a crucial but often overlooked aspect of dementia care, its impact on children and young people.Hannah sheds light on the unique challenges faced by these young individuals and how we can better support them through grief and loss.And emphasises that a diagnosis of dementia is not just given to one person - it is given to a spouse, a partner, a child and the extended family. She will discuss what support children and young people living in families facing dementia need.This podcast is free to listen - but the care behind it isn’t.Rowcroft Hospice is a registered charity, and much of our work is made possible thanks to the generosity of local supporters.
