What is dementia? Many of us live in fear of it, imagining the horror of losing our memories and our identities. But it does not need to terrify us. A good life can be lived with dementia.

Join our author talk with Rose Capp as she shares her experiences and discusses her book "Demystifying Dementia".

In this marvelously informative book, Rose Capp, aged-care specialist and educator, policy advisor and choir-director, tells us how.

Whether dementia affects your loved ones, your friends or people you are caring for, this is an essential book to guide you in taking the mystery out of this condition.
