Facing Dementia Together is an extension of the Face Dementia project, with additional
funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council.

We are working with Chinese, Vietnamese and Arab communities in South-western Sydney using culturally tailored strategies to increase public knowledge about the benefits of dementia diagnosis and treatments and services.

We aim to decrease stigma and increase motivations and triggers for help-seeking.

We are developing information and resources in the following languages:

• Mandarin
• Cantonese
• Simplified and traditional Chinese (written
  forms)
• Vietnamese (written and spoken)
• Arabic (written and spoken).
