Ballard and Shortall wish to help to raise awareness and provide services for those with family who have been affected by Dementia with care and compassion. Helping to remove stigma around Dementia and allow grieving families to talk openly with trust that there is knowledge as to how the disease affected their loved one. Listening to the family and being able to tailor services to their needs is vital.
