Dementia Policy and Resource Guide Development

The Alzheimer Society of Alberta and Northwest Territories seeks to enhance public policy awareness and support for individuals experiencing dementia, their care partners, and seniors. This project involves conducting comprehensive research on existing public policies affecting these groups, identifying gaps or challenges they face, and understanding the pinch points in current support systems. The goal is to utilize this research to develop a practical and informative resource for government staff who regularly handle constituent complaints and concerns. This resource will empower them with knowledge about dementia supports and resources available through the Alzheimer Society, ensuring they can effectively redirect and assist constituents in need. By bridging the information gap, this project aims to improve the quality of support and advocacy for those affected by dementia.
