Join us at the Swift Current Branch Library to gain a deeper understanding of dementia and how you can support people with dementia in your community.

Join us, in person, at the Swift Current Branch Library for this presentation that will give you a better understanding of dementia and help you take actions in your community or workplace to make it more accessible and inclusive for people living with dementia and their care partners.

People living with dementia often report facing stigmatization and discrimination in their communities, which can lead to feelings of isolation and exclusion.  

As individuals and organizations, there are simple yet significant steps you can take for your community to be more accessible, welcoming, and inclusive for people living with dementia and their care partners.

By raising awareness about all of the changes that dementia can cause, we can reduce the stigma too often associated with dementia, promote understanding about what someone with dementia might experience, and empower individuals to access an early diagnosis.
