Alzheimer\u2019s is a devastating form of dementia currently affecting millions of people worldwide. But despite being universally known, the disease can be misunderstood and met with stigma.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that, in an effort to raise global awareness, people are coming together for World Alzheimer\u2019s Month. Led by Alzheimer\u2019s Disease International (ADI)<\/a>, the month-long campaign takes place during September each year. ADI\u2019s goal is to provide impactful information and challenge persisting misconceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This September marks the 10th<\/sup> year of the global awareness campaign. September 21 also signifies World Alzheimer\u2019s Day, in which ADI launches their annual report to help educate the public.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raising awareness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To drive the awareness campaign all month long, ADI works with associations across 120 countries. They aim to support people living with dementia, along with their dedicated caregivers and related organizations. The campaign calls for dementia to be the global health priority it needs to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this year\u2019s theme, \u201cKnow Dementia, Know Alzheimer\u2019s\u201d focuses on the power of knowledge. The theme is present in ADI\u2019s World Alzheimer\u2019s Report<\/a> for 2021, which stresses the importance of understanding warning signs and getting a timely diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report also raises challenging questions for healthcare systems, governments, care managers and researchers \u2014 including powerful testimonies from those living with the disease.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADI is sharing creative ways<\/a> to get involved in this year\u2019s campaign. Given the ongoing pandemic, most are virtual, but still a fantastic opportunity to join the conversation. You can \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
