DEEPer Conversations
In DEEPER conversations, people with dementia discuss a range of knotty issues that affect their lives. Many of these issues are often glossed-over, or rarely discussed, and can raise some strong emotions and challenging ideas.There will be 12 podcasts in this series, which is bought to you by Innovations in Dementia CIC, and the DEEP Network. Each topic for discussion has been chosen by people with dementia themselves.www.innovationsindementia.org.ukwww.dementiavoices.org.uk
