In honour of Alzheimer's Awareness Month this January, we encourage our community members to learn more about dementia and the unique impact it has on 2SLGBTQI members living with dementia. Watch our award-winning short film, Help Us Remain, to learn more, and use our free resources at egale.ca/dementia In the 2SLGBTQI community, we spend our entire lives coming out and fighting for who we truly are. The nuance of the experience shapes us. Now imagine the fear of forgetting the person you’ve worked so hard to become or being forced to abandon that progress of self-actualization. Help us write a happier ending.

January is recognized as Alzheimer’s Awareness Month in Canada, an opportunity for everyone to learn more about dementia and its profound impact on those living with and supporting those with dementia. The Canadian healthcare system isn’t equipped for us in the 2SLGBTQI community who get dementia. We might get equal care, but it’s often not up to par or inclusive of our specific needs. There is just so much more to lose than our memories. Let’s change the way 2SLGBTQI people with dementia are treated. Learn more from our 2024 Help Us Remain campaign, and access our free resources at egale.ca/dementia
