We are participating in Dementia Action Week: here’s how you can too

Dementia affects close to half a million Australians and that number is set to double in the next 25 years.

We will also share daily tips and tools from Dementia Australia on our Facebook account to help you better support people living with dementia, enabling them to live their lives to the fullest. Follow along to get updates and see posts that you can share with your followers too.
