World Alzheimer’s Month 2025
The Alzheimer Society is your path forward.
This World Alzheimer’s Month, we’re encouraging all Manitobans to increase their understanding of dementia and the supports available through our First Link® Dementia Helpline, education sessions, community programming, support groups and more.
Currently, over 20,300 people live with dementia in Manitoba.
Having a globally coordinated World Alzheimer’s Month sends a strong message to our governments, policymakers and communities that dementia is a serious health issue which will have overwhelming effects on services and health systems as our population grows older. The more care we can provide, the more inclusive and compassionate our society can become.
Positive change starts with learning. When you know the facts behind dementia, you will be able to challenge assumptions and false beliefs when they appear and help reduce the negative impact of stigma against people living with dementia, their families and care partners.
We are here to help you understand and access the resources you need when you need them. When you connect with the Alzheimer Society, you are welcomed into a community of support.
Follow us on Social Media & Share Your Story!
Stay up-to-date with the latest happenings at the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba by following us on Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly known as Twitter) and LinkedIn. Share your personal stories this World Alzheimer’s Month and let others know about the support you or your family have received from the Society or community. Make sure to post your photos to social media, tag us and use the hashtag #WAM2025 so we can come support you!
