Description

This week, Beth is joined by Hannah Gardner, a Consultant Admiral Nurse for Children and Young People at Dementia UK.

Hannah works directly with families affected by dementia, helping children and young carers understand the condition and find the support they need.

Drawing from her own lived experience of having a mum with young-onset dementia, Hannah shares how her personal journey shaped her passion for supporting others.


In this episode, she and Beth explore how dementia impacts the whole family, how to talk to children about it and why recognising and supporting young carers is so vital.


If you’d like to connect with Dementia UK or access support, you can call the Dementia UK Admiral Nurse Helpline on 0800 888 6678.
