Dementia Friendly Community Presentation

Saskatchewan
Wed, Sep 17, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

This presentation will help you understand what a dementia friendly community is and learn actions you can take in your community or workplace to make it more accessible and inclusive for people living with dementia and their care partners.

Building dementia-friendly communities means people working together to reduce stigma and increase support 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 stigma too often associated with dementia, promote understanding about what someone with dementia might experience, and empower individuals to access an early diagnosis.
