This week's guest blog post is from the team leading on an innovative new project at Brecon & District Mind. Neil Hurst is the Project Officer, and Clare Searle the Project Administrator. First they tell us all about the Stepping Stones Project, and then we find out more about them and why they decided to get involved with this work. So, over to Neil and Clare. Brecon and District Mind has received funding from the People's Health Trust to run a project called Stepping Stones. What is Stepping Stones you may ask, well the project offers a pathway of activities aimed at assisting people to overcome their barriers to employment and, as part of that pathway, the support to stay in employment moving forward. Or you may already be in employment and need a little external support. This project is open to the wider community as well as Mind members. We offer group training sessions to include; team building, CV writing, interview skills, and...

Artwork by Susie Freeman  Earlier this month I attended a symposium at Celf O Gwmpas (setting for our team’s recent comedy workshop ) which explored policy and practice in arts and health.  The aim of the day was “to move the Arts Health & Wellbeing sector forward and explore opportunities for advocacy, collaboration and networking”.  One of the highlights of the event for me was a showcase describing innovative practice already happening across Wales.  In our team we have previously worked very successfully on projects incorporating art when collaborating with people in contact with mental health services, most notably the DIY Futures Project, resulting in the book it’s the inside that matters . So, Jane and I were very keen to find out about a potential national network which encouraged further collaborative work between the art and health sectors. In brief, here's how the day panned out... Our facilitators for the day (photo below) were  Angie Rogers, ...

There is a bit of a dementia theme on the blog at the moment which  works well as  Dementia Awareness Week  starts in just a few days. Last week I wrote about the Dementia Supportive Communities Event in the North , and this week we focus on young-onset dementia with a look at the South of the county.   Bethan Morris, who is a Dementia Support Worker with Alzheimer's Society for Gwent and South Powys, recently contacted our Information Service to find out more about activities in the county.  As a result she was able to put me in touch with Linda, who was diagnosed with young-onset dementia, dementia which affects people under the age of 65. Linda kindly agreed to tell us about her diagnosis, and what has happened since. I knew I had problems with my memory whilst I was at work and didn’t think much about it and used to say I am having a "dementia day" and could someone help me? Little did I know that I was suffering from dementia. I did ask my doctor on...

Karen Rodenburg, Dementia Friendly Communities Coordinator, North Powys In November last year I attended an excellent Dementia Supportive Communities event in Brecon, South Powys. Last week it was the turn of the North. Thanks to the hard work of Ageing Well in Wales , Alzheimer’s Society , and Powys Association of Voluntary Organisations we had the opportunity to find out more about some truly inspiring initiatives already taking place. And by the end of the day people were asking not just – what has been done already, but what can we, what can I do, to make my bit of Powys a more dementia supportive (or friendly) community? The seed has been sown! Read on to find out how the day - “Working Together to Make a Difference” - unfolded. Carl Cooper, Chief Executive Officer at PAVO, set the context for the day, explaining that the new Social Services and Wellbeing (Wales) Act requires us to work with people and communities to address matters that are important to them, and dementia is ...
