'What everybody needs to read... a deep and powerful understanding of what the person who has dementia is going through' – Davina McCall

The essential toolkit to navigating dementia, supporting loved ones and caring for yourself

Dementia is devastating. Almost a million people are currently living with the disease in the UK alone, and this is set to triple by 2050. With family members often providing care, navigating treatment can be overwhelming. But there is life after diagnosis.

Still Me reframes the job of caring for someone with dementia as a partnership. Both you and your loved one deserve respect, support and the latest research to help you on your journey.

Top neuroscientist and bestselling author Dr Sabina Brennan combines her professional knowledge with her personal experience of caring for her mother with dementia. With a human-rights approach that validates everyone’s experience and dignity, she offers:

  • A self-care plan for care partners to cope with demands and optimise the caregiving experience
  • Practical advice on how to manage challenging symptoms, stimulate cognitive function and encourage a brain-healthy lifestyle
  • Evidence-based therapies to improve both you and your relative’s quality of life.

Dementia can steal many things, but it doesn’t have to take away the simple pleasures of life. Shifting the focus from the disease to the person, Still Me reminds you that your relative is still there and that you, as a care partner, are just as important.
