Experts to inform Greek Australians at upcoming dementia panel discussion

·

The Hellenic Association of Egypt and the Middle East (EEAMA), in partnership with Fronditha Care and PRONIA, proudly present an information session and panel discussion on Greek Australians and dementia, where experts will provide an overview and the latest data about dementia.

Dementia affects thousands of Greek community members and has a ripple effect on their families and social circle.

It is the second leading cause of death for Australians and the leading cause of death for women in the county. It is estimated that by 2058, 1.1 million people will be affected by the debilitating condition.

This joint initiative aims to provide awareness and information relevant to the Greek Australian community.

Speaking at the event will be Professor Vasso Apostolopoulos, psychiatrist Dr Arthur Kokkinias, clinical neuropsychologist Matthew Staios, and barrister Paul Kounnas.

The event will take place on Sunday, 16th October, from 2pm – 4pm at the Stars International Hall in Preston (1C Bell St). Entrance is free, and light refreshments will be offered.

Reservations essential. Arrival from 1.30pm.

To reserve your place, contact either Fronditha Care or PRONIA by Thursday, 13 October 2022.
