Harriet explores the profound impact of mood and motivation, particularly during challenging times, drawing parallels between her journey of walking 900 miles and the emotional highs and lows faced in life and caring for those with dementia. Harriet reflects on her personal experiences, including the anniversary of her mother's passing, and emphasises the importance of small, meaningful moments in fostering resilience and joy. We hear from clinical psychologist Dr Lizzy Goad about setting up personalised support systems using Positive Behavioural Support (PBS), and from Michael Timmins from the charity Playlist for Life, which uses songs to connect people to their families and friends.
