This was an eye-opening, thorough, thoughtful lesson on dementia. It reminded me that as I age, knowledge is key to tackling the fear and anxiety related to the possibility of contracting and living with this disease, or caring for people who are experiencing it. I'm very glad I took the time to watch it and learn more.

I will be singing with a "Giving Voice" dementia choir in Minnesota soon and so appreciate this information prior to attending a rehearsal. Thank you.
