TWG 349: Living Well With Dementia

This week Damian and Brett were joined by inspirational Dementia researcher John Quinn (along with his wife Glenys). John was a school principle when he was “relieved” to get his diagnosis of early-onset familial Dementia. He says that whilst having Dementia was not his choice, he is choosing to live well with Dementia and based on this episode we can confidently say that he is succeeding. John has now done some wonderful research into the field of Dementia and speaks at major conferences about how to thrive with the condition and also about how it affects male masculinity.
He will be speaking at the International Dementia Conference in Sydney on the 8th of June. Find out more at www.dementiaconference.com
