Dementia Open Day

Join us at the Victorian Pride Centre for Caring Out Loud: Dementia Support Open Day for LGBTIQA+ communities, carers, chosen family, friends and allies. Dementia is now the leading cause of death in Australia, yet many of us know little about it. LGBTIQA+ people living with dementia can also face extra barriers to care that respects who they are, their history and the people they call family. This is compounded with the queer experience. This open day is a chance to learn, connect and ask questions in a welcoming, queer-affirming space. Pick up practical information on reducing your risk, recognising the early signs and finding support, and discover services that understand our communities. Along the way, enjoy live performances and share a cuppa over light refreshments. Whether you're caring for someone, thinking about your own brain health or simply want to understand more, there's a place for you here. Come along, bring someone you love and help us build a more dementia-friendly community.
