As the national voice for people affected by dementia, the Alzheimer Society is at the forefront of efforts to help turn the rising tide of dementia by:

 

• Leading the development of a National Dementia Strategy to be adopted by all levels of government, as well as working with the broader neurological community in its efforts to affect policy change.

 

• Educating Canadians about the importance of risk reduction, early diagnosis and looking after their brain health.
• Investing approximately $2.4 million each year in critical dementia research.
• Providing support and education to people living with dementia, their caregivers and their families.
