A letter I wrote about how a news show investigating violence in dementia units -- attacks causing injuries, in some cases very serious -- is published in today's Halifax paper. This makes me happy because I was very angry about this show, not because it highlighted the crisis but because it makes it appear that every person with dementia is violent.  That is such an injustice to every person living with dementia.

I wrote about my anger on Facebook as well in a different, more detailed way, if you want to check that out.
