Chloe and Amy were just 12 and 18 when their mum Sarah began showing symptoms of young onset dementia. Becoming young carers for a parent with dementia and coming to terms with their mum’s diagnosis was something they had never imagined.


This is a story of a family pulling together under incredibly challenging circumstances, supporting each other to juggle work, school and looking after Mum.


Chloe and Amy’s dementia story will resonate with families who are navigating a dementia diagnosis while trying to hold on to everyday life.
