Alzheimer Society unveils new program on brain health The Alzheimer Society of Hamilton and Halton recently unveiled a new program promoting memory loss awareness and brain health. "The prevalence of dementia in Halton is increasing rapidly," stated a press release. "By 2020, the number of cases will increase by nearly 55 per cent over 2005 levels... by 2031 that increase will be nearly 127 per cent." The program is meant to focus on the diverse, multicultural communities in Halton who may be "socially isolated and at-risk for developing a cognitive impairment," stated the release. Through community partnerships, and brain health and memory loss awareness, the program hopes to increase the level of appropriate supports and services to help alleviate stress and increase safety for older adults in Halton's multicultural communities. The local Alzheimer Society offers counselling, education and support, exercise and creative arts and expressions programs.
