Alzheimer’s Awareness Month

Throughout January, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. is recognizing Alzheimer’s Awareness Month by highlighting the experiences of British Columbians affected by dementia to say, “Don’t change. Even if they do.” Learn more at http://www.dontchange.ca. Keep Doing What They Love. For Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, we asked for stories from people living with dementia, caregivers, friends and family. This is how they like to stay connected. Read on to get inspired, and keep dancing, walking, singing and showing up for the people in your own life.

Each January, the Alzheimer Society supports and leads Canada’s Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. During this month, we at the Society encourage organizations across Canada, and individuals like you, to learn more about dementia and its stark impact on Canadians. And while Alzheimer’s Awareness Month may stop at the end of January, the experiences of people who live with dementia do not. As such, we ask you to take what you’ve learned during the month and continue to share it throughout the year.
