Having spent two days filming with Cara and Abi or @MooreLavanFilms I couldn't recommend them enough. Their brilliant, professional approach yet never forgetting to humanity of those they are guiding through the filming process. Wonder, human beings and film makers.
For anyone coping with a new #dementia diagnosis I hugely recommend Jane M. Mullin’s book @DUETcare ‘Finding the Light in Dementia’. A wonderfully insightful resource that is full of warmth, compassion and practical advice. 🙌
Day two of filming our guidance videos for dementia practitioners and people preparing for a memory feedback session. The wonderful Julia and Simon with Abi and Cara our brilliant film makers @MooreLavanFilms.
