Welcome to Talking Point
Talking Point is an online community for people with dementia and their carers, family and friends to discuss all aspects of the condition.
Our online forum allows you to ask a question to people in a similar situation, respond to queries from others and participate in discussions on a wide variety of subjects.
Talking Point is hosted by the Alzheimer's Society, and supported by a group of volunteer moderators.
You can read the support area of the forum without logging in. However, you will not be able to respond to messages, start new topics or see the Lounge (casual chat) area.
Registered members have access to all areas of Talking Point. This includes the Lounge where you can discuss topics not directly related to dementia. After you have registered, log in using the box at the top right of the main discussion forum.
