COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES

Dementia is a global public health crisis. Every 3 seconds, someone is diagnosed with dementia. Over 50 million people are living with dementia today, and this number is expected to surpass 150 million by 2050. Education is the critical first step in overcoming this crisis.   

By learning about dementia during their academic years, young adults can:

• Understand the growing challenge that dementia places on public health and social service systems and the communities they serve; 
• Recognize common symptoms of dementia and how they hinder the ability to function in everyday life; 
• Develop compassion for people living with dementia and break the stigma associated with it; and 
• Envision how they can have a positive impact on dementia in their future careers and personal lives.
