Hold the Moment Season 2 - Spotlighting the people caring for a loved one with dementia

"As carers of people living with dementia, we all have a public face and a private face."

When someone you love is diagnosed with dementia there’s a lot you take on – physically, mentally and emotionally. So how do you even start to process all these changes?

On Hold the Moment, you’re not alone. Join Jim, who was diagnosed with younger-onset Alzheimer’s, and his co-host Hamish Macdonald, whose dad lived with Parkinson’s and Lewy body dementia, as they learn how their peers are managing their new circumstances.

We’ll also bring in a few experts along the way for advice on the especially tricky stuff, like navigating the complex maze of care systems. 

Follow Hold the Moment wherever you get your podcasts so you don’t miss an episode. And share it with anyone you know who’s caring for someone with dementia.
