Mission
Dementia Alliance
International (DAI) is the first global group, of,by and for people with
dementia, advocating for the voice and needs of people with dementia. DAI was
established in January 2014 to promote education and awareness about dementia,
in order to eradicate stigma and discrimination, and to improve the quality of
the lives of people with dementia. The aim is to bring the community composed
of those with dementia together as one strong voice to urge the government,
private sector, and medical professionals to listen to our concerns and take
action to address this urgent global crisis. It is our firm belief that working
together, we will identify concrete action for implementation with the
international community, and in the process, ensure our human rights are being
fully met.
Our Mission is to:
·
Self advocate, and support
other people with dementia to do the same
·
Act as a local and national
resource by providing support to people with dementia and their families
·
Educate professionals and
the community regarding AD and other dementias
·
Provide international
support and networking opportunities for people with dementia
·
Promote fundraising for
attendance at conferences

dementia.” Global Dementia Charter
