For people affected by dementia, connection can make a huge difference. Having somewhere to ask questions, meet others who understand, and learn about available support can help people feel less isolated and more connected to their community.

That is the idea behind Connection Matters, an afternoon of learning, conversation and community taking place in New Waterford this September.

The event will bring together people living with dementia, family members and care partners, community members, and local service providers and organizations that support people living with dementia throughout Cape Breton.

September is World Alzheimer's Month. This year's theme from Alzheimer's Disease International says it clearly: the earlier you know, the more you can do. An earlier and accurate dementia diagnosis can open the door to treatment, support, education, and planning. Yet fear and stigma still prevent many people from seeking help, in Canada and around the world.

This September, let's change that. Together, we can help more Canadians living with dementia and their care partners get the support they deserve. To access supports and learn more about dementia, visit our website at www.alzheimer.ca/en/about-dementia
