What is dementia, and how can we support the people who live with it?<\/a><\/h3>

October 5, 2026<\/p>

Dementia is often reduced to \u2018memory problems\u2019.

SOFT tulip, together with the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine, has organised two in-depth online sessions on dementia care.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
