I am a caregiver.
My name is Naomi and I have been a caregiver and staunch, advocate for my mum, since her dementia diagnosis in 2007.
In commemoration of a decade of caregiving, I decided to start sharing my experiences with this disease, as well as learn as much as I can in terms of education, prevention and research developments.
For the last 10 years, I have been unable to find anyone that could identify with my unique struggles as a young adult caregiver. Therefore, I created this forum where young caregivers can discuss, share and get support from people that understand firsthand what they are going through.
