What is Alzheimer's Awareness Month?

Each January, the Alzheimer Society supports and leads Canada's Alzheimer's Awareness Month.

During this month, the Society encourage organizations across Canada, and individuals , 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, the Alzheimer Society ask people to take what they've learned during the month and continue to share it throughout the year.

By understanding what people living with dementia experience in their day-to-day-lives – their struggles, their successes and their hopes – together we can raise awareness of dementia throughout Canada.

Awareness is the first step to fighting stigma, reinforcing human rights and pushing for policy change, as well as other actions that can lift up Canadians living with dementia.

Please support Alzheimer's Awareness Month. It's an easy start to helping your fellow Canadians who are living with this serious disease.

For this year’s theme, the Alzheimer Society are letting people across Canada know that the Alzheimer Society is the First Link® to Support, Community, Knowledge and Expertise.
