Today we have product designer Ben Atkinson-Willes who set up Active Minds to help support his grandfather who had been living with Alzheimer’s disease for over 10 years.

Description: Today we are lucky to have clinical bioethicist, Viki Kind with us to discuss her new workbook “The Caregiver’s Path to Compassionate Decision Making.” Viki is known as the “The People’s Bioethicist,” because she is a rare individual who bridges two worlds, that of the health care professional and of the family struggling to make the right decision.
