About “Team Orange”
We are recruiting participants for the dementia awareness program “Team Orange” by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (endorsed and supported by the Public Health Agency of Canada). The goal of Team Orange is to enhance public understanding of dementia and to train “Dementia Advocates” who can support individuals with dementia within the community. This support does not require specialized skills like caregiving; it involves learning about dementia symptoms to provide simple assistance to people living with dementia in the neighborhood. By introducing risk factors and preventive measures for dementia, the program aims to create an inclusive society of “Living with Dementia,” where individuals can continue living in their community for as long as possible, even after the onset of symptoms.
