Overcoming Dementia Stigma: A Guide for Families

What happens when a dementia diagnosis changes not just how you see yourself, but how others see you? In recognition of World Alzheimer's Month, host Dawn Platt takes on one of the most overlooked challenges of the dementia journey: stigma. Through heartfelt stories, real-life examples, and practical insights, Dawn explores why fear and misunderstanding often lead people to pull away after a diagnosis, and how we can replace silence with connection, compassion, and understanding. This powerful episode is a reminder that a diagnosis does not erase a person's identity, purpose, or value, and that by changing the way we talk about dementia, we can help ensure that no one faces the journey alone.
