Thomas Baird, LCSW and Maggie Dawson, MSW, are clinical social workers specializing in dementia care.  

Awkward Story is a Dementia Education Podcast and Blog focused on supporting individuals touched by dementia related diagnoses. We wish to address the stigma and isolation often beset upon patients and their families by bringing their poignant, tragic, beautiful, awkward stories into the open. We understand that individuals and their families often feel pressure to isolate themselves as they experience cognitive decline, and we want them to know that there is nothing shameful about their stories.  We will speak to insightful professionals that regularly assist individuals in their fight against dementia. We will also share our own insight as Clinical Social Workers.  We will facilitate podcast interviews on specific dementia-related topics, so that families can eventually navigate our podcast history for specific topics. Thank you for listening and reading.  Most of all, thank you for the care that you give to your loved one.
