For some people with dementia, stigma can be as bad as the condition itself, in the @STRiDEDementia project we have created an evidence-based anti-dementia toolkit to help us stop dementia stigma #DontForgetImHuman

#Stigma against people living with #dementia is a huge problem worldwide. @STRiDEDementia has developed a toolkit to support anti-stigma actions globally, with real life stories of lives of people living with dementia. Check it out here https://t.co/CUYJ2hFs9u
On #WorldMentalHealthDay please spare a thought for all people living with #dementia and their family carers for which mental health issues following a diagnosis are all too common. If you can, do something nice, give a hug, ring, have a chat with someone who may be affected.
All forms of stigma & discrimination, whether directed at people living with #dementia or other mental health conditions, is unacceptable & must end.
This #WMHD2022, read The Lancet Commission's 'Ending stigma and discrimination in mental health': https://t.co/MwLCxRgpPb

Access to support following a diagnosis of #dementia is not equal across the world & in many countries is often non-existent.
On #WorldAlzDay, we call for post-diagnosis care, treatment & support for people with dementia to be recognised as a human right: https://t.co/VC0qKZ9hEK
Today is #WorldAlzheimersDay it is extremely important that world leaders recognise the huge stigma that still surrounds #alzheimers and #dementia at the highest level. We need more action as soon as possible to improve the lives of people living with dementia and their families
Though there is currently no cure for #dementia, there are a number of things one can do to help lower their risk, including regular exercise & partaking in social activities.
During #WorldAlzMonth, #KnowDementia & #KnowAlzheimers modifiable risk factors: https://t.co/sGdekfKkFI
Social isolation is considered one of the 12 #riskfactors for #dementia and #alzheimers. Much isolation has to do with stigma, loneliness and the way our society works. #dementiafrienliness and support groups are two possible solutions. Go to https://t.co/aXz6FYgDKR for more info
