It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you, or someone close to you, is diagnosed with dementia. You may experience uncertainty and may not be aware of the support available to help you live well. Your local doctor (GP) can help you understand what may happen next, and how to find the information and help that you, your family, or your friends might need.

The suite of information booklets below outlines where to find the services and support you may need now and into the future. Click on the icons to download digital copies or fill in the form below to order printed copies.
