Join Alzheimer’s Australia to raise awareness about dementia this September!

More than 353,800 people are living with dementia and 1.2 million people in Australia care for someone with dementia.  The theme for 2016 is “you are not alone”.

The purpose of Dementia Awareness Month is to encourage Australians to become dementia-aware, have a better understanding of what it is like for a person to live with dementia, and ultimately be encouraged to create communities where people with dementia are supported to live a high quality of life with meaning, purpose and value.

For more information, and to find out about local campaigns visit the Alzheimer’s Australia Website.  If you are a carer or are living with dementia, make an appointment with your GP for advice and support.
