Dementia Researcher

There are a number of interventions that can help people living with dementia improve their memory and thinking skills and to enable them to cope better, or even slightly delay the loss of memory. In this podcast we discuss Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) – an intervention which has been significantly researched and supported by a large amount of evidence. In the second of our ISTAART Research Perspectives Specials, Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI) Fellows Fernando Peres and Dr Clara Domínguez Vivero talk with CST expert and researcher Dr Elisa França Resende and Alzheimer’s Association Volunteer and person living with dementia Pam Montana. Our two guests give two perspectives from each side of the treatment, researcher and provider and recipient and user. Exploring the research and how CST has helped to support Pam to live with the progressive symptoms of dementia. -- Fernando Perez is a Journalist, Writer and GHBI Fellow based in Brazil. -- Dr Clara Dominguez Vivero is a Neurologist, PhD holder,
