The purpose of the PIA Project is to help create sustainable and competency-enhancing services for people with dementia by finding new ways to involve users and their next of kin in service development.
The main objective is testing of Peer Support Workers in dementia care, primary for next of kin, but also for people in an early stage of dementia.
The project is also set to reduce shame, stigma, and taboo associated with dementia, so that people affected are seeking help at an earlier stage.
