Description
Through awareness, education and support, our mission is to help improve the quality of life for those affected by dementia - not only diagnosed individuals, but also their families/whānau, carers and support networks.
By providing education, advocacy and access to information that promotes wellness, increases independence and provides reassurance - we want to inspire a dementia-friendly society, where everyone feels supported and prepared for the journey ahead.
We believe that with the most up-to-date support programmes, improved environments, and connections to the community, people affected by dementia can continue to live an enriching and enjoyable life.
