Fear and Stigma in Dementia: A Dementia Dialogue Podcast

Dr. Alison Phinney and prolific BC based artist and dementia advocate Granville Johnson spoke about the fear and stigma associated with dementia, and the work they’re doing to combat that. “People with dementia come from all walks of life. They’re professionals: medical experts, lawyers, designers… They were world builders in their own right long before they were diagnosed with dementia. And those skill sets and talents are still there, but society tends to shut them out.”

The Case for Engaging People with Dementia in Community Efforts

The webinar discusses the asset-based community development approach we have taken to building out support for people with dementia, guiding our communities into a more dementia-friendly, inclusive way of being. Every initiative we tackle increases awareness and helps to combat some of the stigma associated with the condition. Stigma is one of the largest deterrents to living well with dementia.
