@KateSwaffer A right indeed! The Good Life course addresses that, recognising the potential for RECOVERY from the blow of a diagnosis https://t.co/Jh03d533Hx

[York Minds and Voices @YorkMandV]

@KateSwaffer because we have recently come to realise that their beneficiaries are NOT people with dementia. From 1979 they were founded as a carers organisation - heven't ever really veered too far from that.

[York Minds and Voices @YorkMandV]

And if you need all that to explain an ad, it must be a really crap ad. It is.

[Nicky Clark @MrsNickyClark]

I don’t know who signed off on that multiple death @alzheimerssoc Society ad but is really misguided.
It starts with a male voice saying his mum not knowing how to cook his roast dinner meant she” was dead”, which sends an awful message on every level, then goes downhill.
My mum died from Alzheimer’s but only once. Everything else was a long goodbye. Painful, devastating but part of the disease.
She didn’t die.
Older people generally deserve dignity, everyone with dementia need it equally
I wish @TimesRadio & any other broadcaster rethinks playing it.
It sends the wrong message IMO

[York Minds and Voices @YorkMandV]

Too right!

[York Minds and Voices @YorkMandV]

but the best bit of 10 years of #MindsandVoices was captured this week by Bob picking up on the glorious feeling of coming together again. #belonging #peersupport #welcome #growth #recovery @Innov_Dementia @IMcMillan click on image to see all

[York Minds and Voices @YorkMandV]

So much in 10 yrs of #MindsandVoices = not bad for a bunch of ‘dead’ people!
On which note we've met & said say goodbye to Liz, Charlie, Rita, Alison, Stuart, Maria Elena, Elaine, Wendy et al who left #DEEP tracks
So, on the shoulders of those giants, ‘Here’s to the next ten!’
