Mission Statement
The Alzheimer Society Foundation of Brant, Haldimand Norfolk, Hamilton Halton funds and supports the Alzheimer Society of Brant, Haldimand Norfolk, Hamilton Halton and the communities it serves. The Society's mission - People with dementia are at the centre of everything we do. The Alzheimer Society leverages its own and community resources to deliver health promotion, advocacy and support services to people with dementia, those at greatest risk of developing dementia and their care partners. The Society embraces the Alzheimer Society of Canada’s mission to alleviate the personal and social consequences of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias and to promote research.
About This Cause
The Foundation provides funding to the Society to support its services which focus on three pillars of care: 1. Education, giving families an opportunity to learn about dementia, develop realistic expectations and plan for the future; 2. a) Counselling, so people living with dementia and their care partners have a reliable trust-worthy advocate to support them through their dementia experience; b) Support groups, so families know they are not alone in this journey; 3. Wellness activities, to encourage healthy living practices including physical exercise, visual arts, music and opportunities for social engagement. As an Alzheimer Society, we are unique in our mission, as we also include "those at greatest risk of developing dementia" so this encompasses many additional seniors' issue programs as age is the greatest risk factor of developing dementia.
