In this mini series of seasonal interviews, we hear from dementia organisations and others with their own stories and tips on how best to manage celebrations like Christmas.

Caring for someone living with dementia can mean you sometimes find yourself in situations where you’re not sure of what to say, or how best to respond. How you react can make all the difference.

Adria Thompson, from Be Light Care, is a speech language pathologist from the USA who provides regular content on social media platforms with dementia care tips.
