Get involved in research to boost your emotional wellbeing
After one of our formative research interviews, a carer told us:
This interview has been really helpful. It has allowed me to think about my situation and get some perspective on it.
Getting involved in research sometimes helps you get more information about dementia and opportunities for interventions. Many supporters and carers have told us that being involved in research is one way to help make sense of a diagnosis of dementia in a loved one.
