Summary
Lovefest Perth brings together people with dementia, their families and service providers to build further interest and support for creating dementia friendly communities and services.
It does this by focusing the importance of love in the lives of people with dementia. Lovefest Perth has been shaped by local stakeholders, and begins with the launch of an exhibition of portraits of local people with dementia kissing someone they love. Then a series of presentations by people with dementia and their families will highlight the importance of human connection, the challenges experienced and the strategies to address these. A resource developed from the event will include presentations, photos and other resources developed at the event.
