This September, Australians are being encouraged to find out more about dementia during Dementia Awareness Month, to elevate awareness about dementia and the impact on people living with dementia and their carers and families. Those impacted report that their experience is often isolating and studies show a high level of stigma toward people living with dementia.

As part of this event filled month, Alzheimer’s Australia will host a public lecture series given by international guest speaker Professor Steven Sabat, entitled Forget Memory Loss – what about the person?

Prof Sabat is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Georgetown University, USA. For the past 35 years, he has studied the cognitive and social abilities of people with Alzheimer’s disease in the moderate to severe stages.

His writing includes the forthcoming book, Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia: What Everyone Needs to Know and The Experience of Alzheimer’s disease: Life through a Tangled Veil.

Prof Sabat will present on:
• Monday 11 September, Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, Brisbane
• Tuesday 12 September, Parliament House, Canberra by invitation only
• Wednesday 13 September, Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney
• Thursday 14 September, ZINC, Federation Square, Melbourne

Alzheimer’s Australia will host a number of events as part of Dementia Awareness Month. The full calendar of events with links to activities across Australia can be viewed here.

The theme of Dementia Awareness Month this year is You are not alone and across the country, Alzheimer’s Australia will communicate the following:
• To people living with dementia, their families and carers – there is support and services available to you from Alzheimer’s Australia and other organisations
• To the general public – over 70 per cent of Australians admit that they know very little about the dementia and almost half of the population do not realise that it is fatal.1 Dementia impacts everyone and we can all play a part in giving people living with dementia the opportunity to remain engaged with their community and lead meaningful lives
• To healthcare professionals – there is education and support available to you to assist the people you work with in managing the day-to-day and big picture challenges that dementia can bring

Dementia Awareness Month 2017 is supported by financial assistance from the Australian Government.

Notes to media:

Stories in the media about dementia may prompt concerns or cause distress for audiences and readers. When writing or talking about dementia, please encourage your audience/readers with the number for our National Dementia Helpline 1800 100 500, a free call, telephone information and support service available across Australia.

What is appropriate language for talking about dementia and why do we need it?

The words used to talk about dementia can have a significant impact on how people with dementia are viewed and treated in our community. In particular please avoid the use of the word sufferer or suffering – the preferred language is a person/people living with dementia.

Please read our Dementia Language Guidelines that have been developed by people living with dementia and carers.

We provide specialised dementia information, education and support services.

Dementia affects nearly 50 million people across the world, but that figure is expected to rise in the next ten years to 75 million and to 150 million by 2050.

As part of the awareness week, we’ll be hearing stories from islanders and looking at the support available to those with the condition and their families in Jersey and Guernsey.

When Olive was told she had vascular dementia, like many people, she didn’t know what that meant. But she knew it was affecting her ability to find the right words, and that people struggled to understand why. She and her husband Ronnie reflect on what the future might hold.

The different diseases that cause dementia devastate millions of families around the world in different ways. We’ve teamed up with Ricoh to lift the lid on dementia. Learn more at alzres.uk/DementiaUncovered

Frontotemporal dementia is the name for a range of conditions in which cells in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain are damaged. These lobes control behaviour, emotional responses and language. This means that people will experience changes in personality and behaviour, or may struggle with language – for example, in finding the right word. Frontotemporal dementia is a less common form of dementia which is more likely to affect younger people – those under 65.

What are the symptoms of dementia?

What are the symptoms of dementia? Dementia can affects everyone differently, but here are some things to look out for.

We’re all living longer. That means we’re all facing a higher risk of one day developing dementia. It may be you. Or it may be someone in your family.

But what can you do about it? How do you recognise the signs? And how will you cope if you or someone you love develops dementia? One thing’s certain. The more we know about dementia, the more prepared we’ll be to face it.

Dementia is a problem of the elderly, right? Generally that’s true. But there is one form of the disease that can strike people when they are very young, in their twenties or even their teens. It’s called Frontotemporal Dementia, or FTD. And while rare, it devastates lives by rapidly turning young, vital people into those who need constant care. Learn more: http://mayocl.in/2iLbj2g

Welcome to the place where I share dementia tips, strategies, and information for family members caring for a loved one with any type of dementia (such as Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy Body dementia, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, etc.)

Today’s video talks about the stages of dementia. There are different ways to determine dementia stages and several different models to describe the different stages. This video goes over the two most popular ways that the general population stages dementia. There is a 3 stage model of dementia staging and a 7 stage model. This video was made for Careblazer, Annette. I hope that you find it helpful and if you have any specific questions or topics you want to see featured, let me know by leaving a comment below any of my videos.

In case you haven’t met me, my name is Natali Edmonds and I am a board certified geropsychologist. That means that I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with older adults. One day, while hiking a trail, I came up with the idea for Careblazers and I decided to see if posting videos online could provide help to the many other Careblazers in the world who don’t get to have help come directly to them in their homes. I hope that this work helps you in some way on your caregiving journey.
