The Network is a peer support group for people living with dementia or mild cognitive impairment and their carers. Chinese Wellbeing is currently developing a post diagnostic support service to meet the needs of the local Chinese community with input and guidance from Network members. We work closely with mainstream health services to provide a bespoke post diagnostic support service for people with dementia to help them stay active and live well. Facilitated by experienced dementia champions, the Network provides an opportunity to share lived experiences, receive information and advice on support services, and engage in a variety of stimulating activities including memory box work, reminiscence and light exercise.
