For some people with dementia, stigma can be as bad as the condition itself, in the @STRiDEDementia project we have created an evidence-based anti-dementia toolkit to help us stop dementia stigma #DontForgetImHuman

#Stigma against people living with #dementia is a huge problem worldwide. @STRiDEDementia has developed a toolkit to support anti-stigma actions globally, with real life stories of lives of people living with dementia. Check it out here stridedementia.turtl.co/stor…

On #WorldMentalHealthDay please spare a thought for all people living with #dementia and their family carers for which mental health issues following a diagnosis are all too common. If you can, do something nice, give a hug, ring, have a chat with someone who may be affected.
Carers can often experience high levels of stress & anxiety.
This #WMHD2022 & beyond, more must be done to ensure that carers of people living with #dementia are able to carry on with their duties without sacrificing their mental health.

All forms of stigma & discrimination, whether directed at people living with #dementia or other mental health conditions, is unacceptable & must end.

Access to support following a diagnosis of #dementia is not equal across the world & in many countries is often non-existent.
On #WorldAlzDay, we call for post-diagnosis care, treatment & support for people with dementia to be recognised as a human right: bit.ly/3f7Ryz7

Today is #WorldAlzheimersDay it is extremely important that world leaders recognise the huge stigma that still surrounds #alzheimers and #dementia at the highest level. We need more action as soon as possible to improve the lives of people living with dementia and their families
People with dementia frequently face stigmatization and barriers to diagnosis & care.
On Wednesday's #WorldAlzheimersDay, join @WHO in calling for the highest quality of care for those suffering from dementia. who.int/news-room/fact-sheet…

Social isolation is considered one of the 12 #riskfactors for #dementia and #alzheimers. Much isolation has to do with stigma, loneliness and the way our society works. #dementiafrienliness and support groups are two possible solutions. Go to alzint.org for more info
