Forget No One, because no one should face dementia alone.

Dementia remains the health crisis Canadians avoid, even as concern continues to rise.

Over half of Canadians shared how they’re worried about developing Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia, and two-thirds would worry about losing their independence if diagnosed.*

Even more troubling, a quarter of Canadians say they would rather not know if they had dementia.*

This is stigma, and it delays diagnosis, limits access to support, and isolates people who need connection the most.

“Make the call. You can cut your fear and anxiety in half by connecting to the Alzheimer's Society. The person at the other end of the phone has answered similar calls hundreds of times. They know what they’re doing.” - Fred K.

Each January, the Alzheimer Society supports and leads Canada's Alzheimer's Awareness Month to encourage people across Canada to learn more about dementia and its impact.

This year, for Alzheimer's Awareness Month, Alzheimer Societies across Canada are showing up with the Forget Me Not flower as a reminder to Forget No One – because no one should face dementia alone. Too many people don’t know where to go for help, but we’re raising our hand to remind Canadians that we’re here to help.
