For our latest Dementia together podcast we spoke to Teresa Davies, in north-east Wales.

Just over a decade ago, Teresa was diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer’s. 

This came as a shock and left the usually positive Teresa in a dark place. 

She says she ‘didn’t know how to cope’ after her diagnosis and wasn’t given the right support.  

But a chance meeting turned things around and helped Teresa to find a new purpose. 

She now lives as well as she can with dementia and supports others affected by the condition.

You can visit alzheimers.org.uk/publications for our range of publications and factsheets designed to support and inform anyone affected by dementia.
