It's our 9th annual #MindYourHead week and this year, we want to share the voices that matter most – those who have lost loved ones, those who have endured in silence and those who have found their way back from the darkest of places. These stories are raw, real and deeply human.

At mealtimes, contrast & colour work to support eating & drinking. Consider making the meal itself more colourful. Add a contrasting plate to help the food stand out. Frame it all with a placemat as a border. Little things, big impact. #WithSLTuCan

Returning to the old routines of a new year can feel familiar & safe after all the festivities. Clear communication about what's happening next & offering 1 option at a time can support smooth transitions back to January life. #WithSLTuCan

Communication matters in dementia care. Offering support to express our needs, stay connected and be understood can reduce stress or distress in moments of confusion. Try slowing down, reducing noise or noticing non-verbal cues. #WithSLTuCan

This Christmas, remember that mealtimes can be challenging for people living with dementia. Offer unhurried moments, familiar foods, and warm reassurance. Compassion at the table matters just as much as what’s on the plate. #WithSLTuCan

Humans are hardwired for connection. What does connection mean to you? Perhaps it's a familiar look or expression, a smile, a shared routine, doing things together that feel safe & known. Connecting happens frequently without words. #WithSLTuCan

If we change our communication style a little bit, the impact goes a long way. Use short, simple sentences. Always face to face. Give extra time for responses. Smile. We can make conversations feel safer and more connected.#WithSLTuCan

Every new trailer I see of this awful film is absolute sacrilege. Justice for my girl Emily Brontë

I just spent £61 in @NewLook and was told I had to give my email address to get a receipt. That is completely false and totally unlawful. A receipt is a legal requirement when a customer asks for one and it cannot be made conditional on handing over personal data. UK GDPR is

Did you know swallowing problems can happen in dementia? Signs like coughing, choking, or refusing food shouldn’t be ignored — gentle support & simple modifications from a speech & language therapist can keep meals safe and enjoyable. #WithSLTuCan

Good communication in dementia starts with us. It’s the responsibility of the conversation partner to slow down, listen deeply, watch closely, break it down & find new ways to connect. We both play a role in making it meaningful. #WithSLTuCan
