Hope - Ronald the Rooster and Other Short Stories in the Days of Dementia

Illuminating the world of dementia through fictional narratives
Northern Europe

Overview


My overarching aims are to contribute to the ongoing global discussion on dementia care, address the stigma associated with dementia, promote hope, awareness and understanding and shine a light on creative arts intervention in dementia care.

 

Project Details

I am writing a book of fictional short stories inspired by the lived experience of dementia and dementia care. The book is called, “Hope - Ronald the rooster and other short stories in the days of dementia.” I will create imaginary figures in extraordinary settings focusing on various aspects of dementia and dementia care. I am an accomplished author and songwriter. My education at GBHI Trinity College Dublin will further inform my writing to ensure an engaging, entertaining and educational book of stories, suitable for all ages.
