If your life has been affected by dementia in any way advice and support help could just be a click away.

There are currently just over 42,700 people living with dementia in Wales and much work has taken place across the country recently to improve the lives of those with and affected by the condition.

Talking Point is the Alzheimer's Society's online support and discussion where you ask for advice, share information, join in discussions and feel supported if your life has been affected in any way by dementia.

The site offers a range of forums where you can find out all you need to know about support for people with dementia, what to do if you're worried about your memory through to how cope with you have the condition and how to deal with the loss which comes after dementia.

All you have to do to join a discussion or even start a new one is to register or if you need any help just because you're new to this sort of thing just take a look at the site's Help videos or main Help section.

To ensure Wales can best meet the challenge of the increasing number of people living with dementia the National Dementia Vision for Wales has been created which provides a long-term vision on how to tackle this issue.
