Nowadays we hear more and more about dementia and Alzheimer's disease, that represent a growing challenge for families and society.
To raise more and more Public Opinion's awareness of this issue, we organized a Press Conference at Palazzo Marino in Milan, at which two key tools were presented for those living with dementia and their caregivers: the Patient's Guide entitled “Living Well with Your Illness” and the Caregiver's Guide “Caring for a Person with Dementia. A Practical Guide.”
All too often, in fact, those who receive a diagnosis of dementia (or Alzheimer's) find themselves facing the disease alone, with numerous difficulties in accessing services and finding reliable information. From this awareness comes Teseo - A caring community, a project active in the Milan area to build an effective and concrete support network, breaking down stigma and promoting a new culture of care.
The Guides that were presented, in the presence also of Lamberto Bertolè, Councillor for Welfare and Health of the City of Milan, can be consulted and downloaded for free by clicking on the following link: https://www.progettoteseo.it/download/
Attivo dal luglio 2023, il Progetto Teseo è finanziato da Fondazione Cariplo e sviluppato da Fondazione Don Gnocchi (capofila), Sociosfera Onlus, Caritas Ambrosiana, Associazione per la Ricerca Sociale e Airalzh Onlus.
