Perhaps you've just watched one of Dr Kellyn's videos and something felt familiar.

Maybe you're trying to understand why the person you care for is behaving differently.

You're wondering what to say when they ask the same question again.

Why they want to go home when they're already there.

Why evenings have become difficult.

Or whether the way you're responding is helping.

And sometimes, you simply want to know:

“Am I doing the right thing?”

There isn't a rule book for supporting someone with dementia.

Every person's experience is different, and what helps one family may not be right for another.

Understanding more about what may be happening can make a real difference.

It can help you feel more confident in how you respond, try different approaches and look beyond the dementia to understand what the person you care for might be experiencing or trying to communicate.

A little support can make things feel more manageable.

Get 5 Days of Dementia Support with Dr Kellyn — free

We've selected five of Kellyn's most useful videos covering common challenges experienced by people living with dementia and the families supporting them.

Each day you'll get:

A short video from Dr Kellyn
Practical, easy-to-understand information about a common dementia challenge.

A little more understanding
Helping you think about why something might be happening, rather than simply trying to stop it.

Ideas you can use in everyday life
Things to think about or approaches you might want to try with the person you support.

And if you need a little more support...

Supporting someone with dementia can be difficult, exhausting and sometimes lonely.

Looking after the person supporting them matters too.

When carers feel more informed, confident and supported, it can make a real difference — not only to their own wellbeing, but to the person living with dementia too.

That's why we've created somewhere you can find ongoing support, understanding and connection, whenever you feel you need a little more than a video.
