Dementia Awareness

Dementia awareness involves understanding a group of symptoms that affect memory, thinking, and behavior, impacting daily life. It’s caused by diseases like Alzheimer’s and varies from person to person. Recognizing the signs early—such as forgetfulness, confusion, or difficulty with tasks—can lead to better support, treatment, and planning. Awareness also promotes empathy, reduces stigma, and encourages community support for those living with dementia and their families. Educating ourselves helps create a more understanding environment, ensuring individuals with dementia receive respectful care and feel valued in society.
