Understanding Dementia

Did you know that there are an estimated 436,00 Australians currently living with dementia? This number grows every day with 250 more individuals being diagnosed.

Dementia is quickly becoming one of those health conditions that seems to touch everybody in the community. It’s a tough road for the person with dementia, and often more difficult for the family members who care for them. This event is for those aged 18 years and older.

Introduction into Dementia

This workshop provides an overview of dementia, including signs and symptoms, causes, and an understanding of how dementia affects the brain and behaviour.

This event is delivered in partnership with Ozcare
and supports United Nations Sustainable Development Goal Three: Good Health and Wellbeing
