🌿 About the Event

Dementia affects many families across Australia — yet for many in culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities, it can remain a difficult topic to discuss or understand.

Facing Dementia Together is a special event hosted by the MIA Sisters Team in collaboration with the Facing Dementia Together campaign. It is designed to support Muslim women in recognising early signs of dementia, learning how to take charge of brain health, and feeling confident to seek support.

This session will be practical, informative, and culturally relevant, providing valuable insights from lived experience and professional research.
