Help change the future for people affected by dementia
In an increasingly uncertain world, East Kootenay residents living with dementia and their caregivers are facing more social isolation than ever before. To help them, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. is gearing up for its 2021 Alzheimer’s Awareness Month campaign, held annually in January.
Throughout the month, residents can learn more about how they can take individual action to help change the future for British Columbians who are living with dementia and hear the stories of people affected by the disease.
As part of Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, residents will be invited to ‘Raise your voice: Dementia, long-term care and COVID-19’ on January 27, a special webinar sponsored by Clark Wilson LLP. It features a panel discussion on the challenge of balancing health and safety concerns with ensuring that families can support people living with dementia in long-term care to stay active and engaged.
