“I’m not broken”: A blueprint to address stigma associated with dementia

WTD offers a framework to address some of the fear that lies at the heart of stigma. The collective experiences and learning reported by participants offer many insights into enhanced understanding and the resulting decrease in stigmatising words or actions. People living with dementia discovered their own complicity in their stigmatisation and experienced an empowering context where they could redefine themselves in a new light free of stigma.
