The Equity Podcast

In this powerful episode, I sit down with William Dean, a passionate young-onset dementia advocate from Wales, to explore the deeply personal realities of living alongside a dementia diagnosis at a young age.William shares his journey as a young carer, the emotional weight of supporting a parent with young-onset dementia, and the life-changing impact it has had on his identity and advocacy work. Together, we unpack the often-overlooked "sacrifices" made by family carers, the gaps in communication within healthcare systems, and why meaningful support must go beyond clinical care.We also discuss the urgent need for better recognition of carers, improved communication between healthcare professionals and families, and stronger advocacy to influence policy and system change.This is an honest, moving, and important conversation about brain health, dignity, and the power of raising your voice.If this episode resonates with you, please LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE to support the conversation around dementia and brain health.#brainhealth #dementiaawareness #youngonsetdementia #mentalhealthawareness #healthequity
