Alberta Dementia Strategy and Action Plan (ADSAP)

The Alzheimer Society of Alberta and Northwest Territories was a key participant in the development of the Strategy and Action Plan and is now leading some of its actions. Here is how we are supporting the ADSAP:

We are:

  • Expanding dementia support to rural and remote communities through tailored initiatives,
  • Promoting ‘dementia-inclusive’ communities,
  • Developing and piloting a dementia awareness program for Alberta employers,
  • Advocating to reduce stigma and discrimination associated with a dementia diagnosis,
  • Promoting education and raising awareness about dementia,
  • Providing strategies to reduce the risk of dementia and
  • Leading a brain health awareness campaign (on social media).
