Join us for the launch of Dementia Australia’s new LGBT+ Hub!

The new LGBT+ Hub is an online space created with LGBT+ people, partners, families, carers, friends and communities in mind who may be impacted by dementia.

If you’re worried about changes in memory or thinking for yourself, a partner, family member or someone close to you, this free event is a welcoming opportunity to learn more, connect with support, and explore resources designed with LGBT+ communities in mind.

The event will include an introduction to the new hub, followed by two information sessions:
Worried About Your Memory?
understanding the brain
how memory works
ageing, mild cognitive impairment and dementia
memory strategies

What is Dementia?
understanding dementia
types of dementia
diagnosis, support and services
living well with dementia

Whether you are seeking information, support, or simply want to learn more, everyone is welcome.
RSVP and help us celebrate more inclusive support for LGBT+ communities affected by dementia.
