Changing the Narrative of Challenging Behaviours
We hear so often of people living with Dementia displaying “challenging behaviours”. We really need to change this narrative as showing emotions to a situation those living with Dementia find themselves in as a natural process.
Do we have challenging behaviours when we become upset, annoyed or even angry? Or, is it a response to a situation?
By thinking more positively and asking ourselves why an individual is responding to a situation allows us to ask, “what could be going wrong?” or, “what can I do to help this situation?”

I met mark through my son in law. My dad had been going through later stages of Dementia and was still living at home with my Mum. Both were in their 70’s and it was all becoming too much for my Mum. After being introduced to Mark and explaining the circumstances, he took time out of his day to come around to my Mum and Dads house to have a conversation about what can be done. He was so kind with my Dad and his knowledge really shown and he was very approachable. He sat with my Mum and me and went through every question we had as well as give us some fantastic advice. The advice was not only round how to help my Dad but also how to help my Mum so she doesn’t get burnt out and also gets the rest she needs. My Dad has since passed and Mark came to pay his respects at the funeral where I told a family friend who is going through the same thing about Mark, who I know has also been In contact with him. I can’t thank Mark enough for the time he spent with my family and the advice he gave us. He was always available to take a call or message whenever we had any questions.

Both were in their 70’s and it was all becoming too much for my Mum. After being introduced to Mark and explaining the circumstances, he took time out of his day to come around to my Mum and Dads house to have a conversation about what can be done. I was introduced to Mark through a friend who just lost her dad through dementia. She couldn’t recommend him enough and how he helped her so I got his number. My dad has also been diagnosed so thought it would be good to get any advice I could. From the get go Mark was incredibly responsive to my messages and understands that with this type of disease unless you’ve dealt with it first hand you don’t fully know what to expect. Mark arranged to come to my house to sit and have a chat to give us some information and ask any questions we had. At no time did it feel like he was looking to leave or rush away for anything else. He sat with us and answered any questions we had as well as give us some information on what we can expect and how not everyone is the same with this disease. He has been to hand ever since via text or calls and a really fantastic source of support for me and the family. Just knowing there is some one we can speak to has been a huge comfort and I can’t thank him enough. All I’ll say is if you ever come across this horrendous disease you want some one like Mark in your corner. My Dad has since passed and Mark came to pay his respects at the funeral where I told a family friend who is going through the same thing about Mark, who I know has also been In contact with him.
