Faces of Dementia
1 in 2 Canadians know someone with dementia. 1 in 4 Canadians have someone with dementia in their family.
What does a face of dementia look like to you?
Visit our Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to share this video and be a part of the online discussion about “what does the face of dementia look like to you”.
The Alzheimer Society of B.C. is asking the public to challenge their stereotypes about people with Alzheimer’s disease, to better understand this heartbreaking illness, and to support our vision of a world without dementia.
The faces of dementia are people living with the disease, their caregivers, families and friends, advocates who want to see improved dementia care in our province, researchers who are working hard to find a cure, and donors, leaders, and volunteers who support the Society’s work. Read profiles of local people impacted by the disease
Families already on the dementia journey need support to face the consequences of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
We need a cure. We need to know the causes of the disease so that we can go beyond risk reduction and actually prevent the disease from taking hold of individual lives and families.
As we wait there are more than 70,000 British Columbian families already impacted by Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia; 10,000 of the individuals living with the disease are under the age of 65.
Visit our Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to share this video and be a part of the online discussion about “what does the face of dementia look like to you”.
Each year, 15,000 more people in B.C. are being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
Our vision is a world without dementia; but we need your help.
The full financials from our annual report helps to show why the Society is considered a good investment among charitable organizations. In 2010/2011 we raised $5 million and the Society commits $.85 for every dollar raised to providing a province-wide network that delivers support for local families impacted by dementia.
Under “Join the Wave of Change” you can find out all the ways you can choose to help turn the rising tide of dementia.
