How to get involved
The Alzheimer Society of P.E.I. suggests a number of ways the public can get involved in tackling the stigma of dementia. They include:
– Attend a conference with Teepa Snow on Monday, Jan. 22. Visit, www.dementiapei.ca to register
– ‘Stop the stigma! Be a Friend, Visit and Share’ knowledge and experiences with others
– Use positive language and speak up against jokes on dementia
– Volunteer with the Alzheimer Society by visiting www.alzpei. ca
– Use the hashtag #ILiveWithDementia to help spread the word.
