Second Professional Training Seminar
Improving quality of life for people living with Dementia
Every day, millions of people across the world face mental health challenges — from dementia and Alzheimer’s to anxiety, depression, trauma, and cognitive decline. The need for informed, compassionate, and skilled support is growing rapidly.
Dementia alone is projected to affect nearly 140 million people by 2050, while mental health conditions are already among the leading causes of disability worldwide.
Without significant investment in professional training and community preparedness, care systems will fall behind demand.
