Patty Kikos interviews Sophie Hennessy from Dementia Australia who helps us understand the various types of dementia that people can experience from when they’re as young as in their 30’s. We discuss the wonderful resources you can access from Dementia Australia, including counselling, referrals to service providers and education for carers and staff through easy to access Artificial Intelligence.
