It’s Dementia Action Week 💜
Dementia doesn’t just impact the person living with the condition and their carers – It touches their friends, family and wider community.
People living with dementia often tell us that friends and loved ones drift away after a diagnosis, not knowing how to interact and stay connected. This can lead to social isolation and loneliness, and further drive stigma and discrimination.
With an estimated 433,300 Australians living with dementia and 1.7 million people involved in their care, chances are you know someone who is impacted by dementia.
This Dementia Action Week, we’re encouraging everyone to reach out and reconnect with someone impacted by dementia – because nobody can do it alone.
