It’s time to talk about dementia. 💜
This Dementia Action Week, 21–27 September, Country Care Group is proud to support Dementia Australia in encouraging Australians to start more open conversations about dementia.
Today, around 446,500 Australians are living with dementia, with more than 1.7 million people involved in their care. Dementia is now Australia’s leading cause of death, yet it’s still something many of us find difficult to talk about.
Dementia isn’t a normal part of ageing, and starting a conversation can make a difference.
By talking, listening and learning, we can help improve understanding, reduce stigma and discrimination, and make it easier for people living with dementia, their families and carers to feel supported and connected.
A national conversation starts with thousands of smaller ones, between families, friends, colleagues, health professionals and within our communities.
This Dementia Action Week, let’s start the conversation, one conversation at a time.
