ADI is the global voice on dementia with member associations in over 100 countries around the world. It is our mission to support and work with Alzheimer and dementia associations, as well as people living with dementia, carers and all relevant organisations to help raise awareness, challenge stigma and to call for dementia to be a global health priority. Convening this workshop is a crucial action towards this goal.
