Dementia awareness resources toolkit: Welcome

Welcome to the dementia awareness resources toolkit

This digital toolkit was created to share dementia information and resources developed during the Public Health Agency of Canada's national public education campaign (2019–2024). Resources were developed to expand awareness of dementia risk reduction, reduce stigma and enable communities to be more dementia-inclusive.

This content can be shared with your network through social media and/or other channels, and it can be used to inspire your own content to raise awareness of dementia. Resources are available in English and French.
