“A diagnosis of dementia can be very lonely.
To Whom I May Concern® gives
people with dementia a voice and
a sense of being part of something bigger,
a chance to belong during
a time when one feels adrift.”
To Whom I May Concern®
To Whom I May Concern® (TWIMC) is a unique storytelling and performance program that challenges the stigma of dementia. With TWIMC, people living with early-stage dementia have the opportunity to share their experiences, connect with others, and reshape the conversation around cognitive change.
Through the guidance of a trained TWIMC facilitator, participants join a Sharing Group, where they explore personal stories of diagnosis, adaptation, family, and future hopes. These stories become the foundation of a co-created script, culminating in a powerful, live or recorded performance that educates, inspires, and brings communities together.
“I strongly recommend To Whom I May Concern to every community!
It’s so important to overcome the fear factor of diagnosis and the inability to discuss.
We need the tools [to help us] discuss.”
