Proposal
Canada’s current dementia epidemic is worsening due to a lack of accessible, dementia caregiver-specific funding, and social support. Implementation of focused funding and community support programs have made significant, positive impacts on many global issues. Thus, we propose a reallocation of current federal health funding and the integration of accessible support programs in dementia caregiving.
