SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS

 

We are aware that there is a lack of support specifically for children and teenagers who are affected on a daily basis by living with someone with a dementia.  These links should provide a first point of contact and can be approached directly by the young person or by an adult on their behalf.  The YPWD Forum is continuing to work in this area.

 

All of the links open in new windows.
