How to use this guide?

Everyone is different – the journey for people with dementia and the people providing care will be unique. People have different preferences – some of us want to talk with a professional who provides guidance and some of us want to know where to look on the Internet for information, while others want to connect with people who are currently caregivers and can share stories and provide mutual support.
