@Uber_Support
Using uber only once, with zero transgressions, you've deactivated my account claiming 'irregular activities'. Concerned about my cyber safety, i asked 4more info, instead u asked me to not respond. Is banning and ignoring my legitimate concern the only solution?

Elder abuse is a big concern in South Africa, where @STRiDEDementia data shows risk is high, despite underreporting for those unable to disclose due to fear or cognitive impairment. @DrNFarina @margie_who @CPMentalHealth @UCT_Research @The_DSD #WorldElderAbuseAwarenessDay2022

After an interesting and engaging day at #ADI2022, the cherry on top is the publication of our dementia stigma research in South Africa - https://t.co/6oodB25gUN. Great work by @STRiDE_SA @roxannejacobsSA @saraevanslacko @STRiDEDementia

@DrDebs_Oliveira @STRiDEDementia Congratulations Deborah!! Enjoy your new adventure :-)

[Adelina ComasHerrera @AdelinaCoHe]

Excellent to see this @STRiDEDementia paper published, encapsulating so much learning. A fascinating difference: the same survey took double the time in South Africa than in Indonesia!
