1 January March 2019 See inside for dementia programs in. January is Alzheimer s Awareness Month January is Alzheimer s Awareness Month, an opportunity to challenge the stigma experienced by people living with dementia. Throughout the month, thousands of Canadians will be standing up to share their stories to challenge negative attitudes and misconceptions. When we reduce stigma, people living with dementia can live better. Here are some tips to help you cope with and overcome stigma: Be open and honest. When someone asks how you are doing, be honest with your answer. People may not realize how difficult things are for you. Talk about dementia. Become informed. Sharing accurate information is the best way to reduce stigma. Help others understand. Encourage people to learn more about the disease. The offers free teleworkshops for people to learn about dementia at home: alzbc.org/learn-from-home Talk to someone you trust. It can be hard dealing with dementia alone. Sharing this part of your life with family and friends and letting them know when you need help and support can be of great comfort. Stay connected. It is important to engage with others who understand what you are going through. A support group can be a safe place to share your struggles with people who understand.
