Produced by a collective of German-speaking Alzheimer's / dementia associations (Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Belgium and South Tyrol), a new brochure has been published (in German), advocating the use of language that does not stigmatise, but rather promotes understanding, inclusion and participation of people with dementia and which contributes to improving the quality of life for all those affected.
The “Sprachleitfaden Demenz” brochure aims to serve as a reference for people working in the health sector, in the media and in administrations, as well as helping inform and raise awareness among the general public.
It can be downloaded via the Association Luxembourg Alzheimer website: https://ala.lu/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Sprachleitfaden-Demenz.pdf
