World Alzheimer's Day (21/Sept/2022)
Dementia Awareness Month is held during September each year with World Alzheimer's Day occurring on 21 September.
Alzheimer's Australia has a vision to develop dementia-friendly communities and organisations in Australia to reduce the stigma and social isolation associated with a diagnosis of dementia.
The essence of dementia-friendly communities is to engage people with dementia in everyday life. People with disabilities have insisted on societies being inclusive and so should people with dementia.
