People living in Wyndham are being urged to take action to help support people living with dementia and their families.
Dementia Action Week will run from Monday, September 19 to Sunday, September 25, and this year’s theme is ‘A little support makes a big difference’.
Discrimination has a significant impact on people living with dementia, their families and carers, and a little support from the community and health care professionals can make a big difference, according to Dementia Australia.
It is estimated half a million Australians living with dementia, and almost 1.6 million are people involved in their care.
