Mission Statement - Canada
& Australia
The Society for the Arts in Dementia Care is
built on the premise that people living with dementia have the right to
dignity, to be heard and to be valued.
The Society provides an interdisciplinary
forum for creative expression in dementia care, bringing together academic
research and practical knowledge through collaboration between the medical
profession and the creative arts.
The Society aims to
disseminate knowledge and establish ties with dementia care organisations worldwide, thereby
improving the quality of life for people with dementia.
