Dementia Action Week | 21–27 September 💛
This Dementia Action Week, we’re joining Dementia Australia in encouraging Australians to talk about dementia.
With almost half a million Australians currently living with dementia, and more than 1.7 million people involved in their care, dementia affects individuals, families, carers and communities across Australia.
Dementia Action Week is an opportunity to increase understanding, reduce stigma and remind people that support is available. Having open conversations about dementia can help people feel less alone and connect them with the information and support they need.
Dementia Australia leads Dementia Action Week nationally, providing resources and information to help individuals, families, carers, workplaces and communities better understand dementia. They also support dementia-friendly communities and provide the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500, offering free and confidential information, advice and support.
At HART, we believe connection and community are incredibly important. This week, we encourage everyone to start a conversation, learn more about dementia and think about how we can create communities where people living with dementia feel included, respected and supported. 💛
It’s time to talk about dementia.
