aka Powys Dementia Network event Spring 2018 – Part 2  Just in time for Dementia Action Week (21 – 27 May) – here is the concluding post covering activities at the recent Powys Dementia Network event in Newtown. The Network is facilitated by Powys Association of Voluntary Organisations and the day was attended by numerous agencies and groups from both the statutory and voluntary sectors in the county. I wrote about the morning sessions in Part 1, which focused on updates from a number of statutory agencies (including Dyfed Powys Police, Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service, Powys County Council, Powys Teaching Health Board, and Welsh Ambulance Services Trust). All the speakers emphasized the importance of working together to give people living with dementia the best possible life experience. We heard a few scary stories of what could happen in a worst case scenario, we saw some amazing technology, and we learnt that listening to people living with dementia and those c...

Stress, are we coping? This year the theme for Mental Health Awareness Week (14 – 20 May), hosted by the Mental Health Foundation, is stress.  Research has shown that two thirds of us experience a mental health problem in our lifetime, and stress is a key factor in this. For many people stress is a part of everyday life, but do we really manage our stress effectively? By tackling stress, we can go a long way to tackle mental health problems such as anxiety and depression, and, in some instances, self-harm and suicide. The Powys Mental Health Planning and Development Partnership, in collaboration with other partnerships across the county, is exploring how we can all tackle stress and help to improve our mental health . Stress is not a mental health problem itself but is a survival response to keep us safe. But it should not become a way of life. The Partnership asked its members what stress looks like for them and how they manage it. How do you recognise stress? For me it’s about ...

Two years ago, I attended a Dementia Supportive Communities event in North Powys at which the idea of the Powys Dementia Network was first mooted. Three meetings subsequently took place through 2016 – 2017, in Knighton and Brecon. In late April this year I actually went to my first meeting of this network at Newtown Rugby Club. It was a brilliant opportunity to find out the latest updates about dementia services and activities across Powys. The day was packed with speakers and networking opportunities so this summary is split into two blog posts. This first post will focus on the morning session, primarily important updates from a number of statutory agencies. The second will highlight the ongoing work of the voluntary sector, plus the day’s highly entertaining finale “Living with Dementia” from Frances and Jill, who between them have extensive experience of living with, and caring for people, who live with dementia.

by guest author Charlotte Underwood My name is Charlotte Underwood. I am a 22 year old mental health advocate and writer. I have fallen into a passion of writing and raising awareness of mental health and suicide by a beautiful accident; now I wouldn’t change a thing for the world. It’s ironic that for a long time I belittled writing and those who perused it, I had no idea that one day writing would save my life. I used to laugh at my father for writing poems but now I know why he did it. I remember the feeling of dread when I knew I had an English lesson. Writing and reading had become a chore, a forced constraint of my time – I hated it almost as much as I hated P.E. which was an immeasurable amount. The very thought of Shakespeare would make me groan in frustration. It wasn’t always this way. As a child of maybe seven, I spent my spare time writing these stories about tornados (I was obsessed with the film Twister at the time) and writing a very varied volume of song lyrics. I was, ...
