Grant: CIHR Café Scientifique Program

The "Standing up to Dementia" cafe will serve as an open space to discuss dementia, the impact on the community, and ways to slow cognitive decline and maintain or ameliorate patient quality of life. We hope to create an environment in which participants and speakers exchange knowledge, ideas, and opinions. The "Standing up to Dementia" Cafe will engage the general public in a conversation centered on Health Promotion- defined by the World Health Organization as the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health.
