A documentary in the context of mental health in a cocoa factory

The Dementia Friendly Municipality of Helmond presents the documentary “Liefsteling” as part of the Mental Health Weeks. He can be seen on Tuesday, June 4, at the cocoa factory in Helmond.

The goal of Helmond Dementia Friendly Municipality is to raise awareness among Helmond residents about dementia. “Because sooner or later, we will all have to deal with this topic, directly or indirectly,” the partnership says. The Dementia Friendly Municipality of Helmond also wants to show the impact of dementia on the person with dementia and their environment. Furthermore, the dementia-friendly municipality of Helmond hopes to break the taboo surrounding dementia. It does this by offering activities, and this documentary is one of them.
