September is World Alzheimer’s Month.
This year’s message is an important one:
The Earlier You Know, The More You Can Do: A Dementia Diagnosis Matters.
For someone experiencing changes in their memory or behaviour, or for the family members noticing those changes, taking the first step towards a diagnosis can feel worrying.
But an early diagnosis can help people access the right support sooner, better understand what’s happening and give families more time to plan and make decisions together.
Throughout September, we’ll be helping to raise awareness, encourage conversations around dementia and challenge some of the stigma that still surrounds a diagnosis. 💜
