Ask Us Anything: How Do I Balance Life While Caring for My Parent with Dementia?

Caring for a parent with dementia in your teens,  20s or 30s brings challenges most people don’t see.

In our Ask Us Anything episodes, you send us your questions about living with dementia and we’ll answer them as honestly as we can. Nothing is off limits here!

We examine the pressures young carers face and share advice on managing the juggle.
