'I Want To Speak Please'

Quilted banner, approx 4.5 x 1.5 metres.

Made for York Minds&Voices dementia support group.

All the quotes are from group members.

Each member chose their favourite colour and fabric. From these I cut the outlines of their raised hands.

They have so much to say, and deserve to be heard.

I miss my time with these amazing people.

For some years, I've worked with 'Minds & Voices', a group of people living with dementia.

I used their words about dementia to make a poem.

I'm amazed and thrilled to have it included in this anthology of poems about dementia, by (EIC @missyerem)

Perfectly, the cover image and final poem were created by people living with dementia.

Please boost and support if you can. Thank you!

Don't ignore the signs: Understanding memory loss

It's our job to be vigilant and identify any potential health concerns in our patients. One of the most common issues we encounter is memory loss, and it's often the families of the individuals who first bring it to our attention.

Andrew E. Budson is a neurologist.

🔔 Upcoming event: Developing Psychotherapeutic Approaches for Couples where One Partner has Dementia - 4th February 2023. 11am - 12.30pm.

Andrew Balfour will outline the development of an intervention for couples, which, though rooted in psychoanalytic thinking, looks unlike anything one might recognise as ‘psychoanalysis’.
