Doing It My Way

D Tour

Harriet explores the themes of independence and community as she walks the West Highland Way.

There’s lots to consider when it comes to independence and a dementia diagnosis, and it’s not just about the independence of the person living with dementia. Their families also face challenges around their independence too.

She’s joined by two Grahams in this episode - first Graham Horner from Macs Adventure who discusses how self-guided trips empower individuals and then Graham Galloway from Meeting Centres Scotland which helps people adjust to the changes that come with a dementia diagnosis.
