Receiving a diagnosis of dementia can be a disorienting experience for the person diagnosed and their families. A diagnosis often leaves the person and their families searching for information and guidance on health and social services that are available to assist them in their daily lives.

The Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Health, today announced funding from the Government of Canada to support Canadian researchers who will work with international collaborators to improve health and social services for people living with dementia and their families.
