expanding and evolving [12].
The sixth area of wellbeing is growth. The following
will be discussed in relation to growth:

? Pushing boundaries/Risk/Trying something
new

Think about the person living with Younger Onset
Dementia that you support. Take a moment to reflect
how full of growth their glass would be.
Quote: from Kate Swaffer’s Blog: Kate is living well
with Younger Onset Dementia:
“Let’s hope our health care professionals soon
start to realise there is capacity and yes, even
leadership to be built and supported, even in people
with dementia or other cognitive impairment.
Through developing leaders, we are developing
capacity, as well as teaching people how to live, and
not only die from dementia.”
