Dementia in Canada: Awareness, Risks and Reality: Part 2

This is part 2 of our Aging Vibrantly episode on raising awareness on the issue of dementia in Canada.

We are honoured to be joined with 3 esteemed guests; Dr. Samir Sinha, Dr. Jane Rylett and Claire Webster, who share their wealth of knowledge in research; policy and practice to help us better understand Dementia.

Dementia significantly impacts the lives of many Canadians, particularly for older adults and their caregivers. That's why this episode is so important. Canadians of all ages need to be knowledgeable about dementia, have access to information and support to lower their risk and acknowledge their role in combating the stigma surrounding dementia.

We continue our conversation on the role of care partners and how we can empower, support and prepare individuals for their caregiver journey so they have access to education, resources, and skills to care for a person living with dementia.

We then discuss the actions that individuals, communities and governments can take to not only delay or prevent dementia, but also improve the quality of life for those living with dementia.

Please enjoy, Part 2 of our Podcast on Dementia in Canada: Awareness, Risks and Reality.

Until next time - Stay Vibrant!
