Empowerment Through Knowledge: Delve into the Comprehensive Dementia Justice Report

Best of 2023 dementia research – the Comprehensive Dementia Justice Report

Knowledge is power, and understanding the issues at hand is the first step towards making a difference. The Dementia Justice Report offers an in-depth look into the challenges and systemic gaps faced by those living with dementia and their families. For those short on time or looking for a concise overview, the researchers have also prepared an easy-to-read version that encapsulates the key findings. By immersing ourselves in this knowledge, we can unite in our pursuit of justice, ensuring that the rights and needs of those living with dementia aren’t overlooked. Join us in this cause – read, learn, and share.  Available in two formats: Final Report    Easy Read Report
