1. The government subsidizes the 22 counties and cities across the country to promote the “Dementia Friendly Communities”, to develop life circles centered on persons with dementia and their families, expand community care service resources through community networks, recruit dementia friendly guardian angels and organizations, form a protection network for dementia to create a dementia friendly environment. Develop diverse educational material for different ethnic groups (such as the general public, students, group associations, workplaces, shops, volunteers, dementia friendly guardian angels and qualified teachers), conduct advocacy marketing campaigns to strengthen the target group’s correct understanding and friendly attitude towards dementia.
Objective: To raise public awareness, improve friendly attitude towards dementia, and eliminate discrimination and prejudice. By 2020, the public’s awareness and friendly attitude towards dementia will reach 5% and will reach 7% in 2025.
