January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month across the province, and PG Hospice Palliative Care Society is recognizing the impacts on individuals, and those around them.
In a release from the society, they said they were selected to participate in the UBC NavCARE Compassionate Dementia Inclusive Community Initiative, which supports those with dementia and their care-givers.
This would help create a compassionate, inclusive community that supports and empowers everyone.
“Through this project, we will be able to bring new resources, education, and much-needed support to individuals with dementia and their caregiver-partners in Prince George.” said Executive Director, Donna Flood.
The society said the program will help strengthen the support network for those impacted by Alzheimer’s and dementia, creating a community that values and uplifts those affected.
They’re inviting the community with dementia and those that care for them to complete a survey that helps identify strengths and opportunities for the program, which can be found here.
