DASN International is an internet based support network established to:
Promote respect and dignity for persons with dementia
Provide a forum for the exchange of information,
Encourage support mechanisms such as local groups, counseling groups
and Internet linkages, and
Advocate for services for people with dementia
Assist people to connect with their local Alzheimer’s Association
Since its founding in 2000, DASNI has evolved as an international group
of people with dementia. Approximately one-third of members have dementia
themselves.
DASNI activities currently include an Internet-based support group for people
with various dementias and those involved with our well-being. DASNI has an email
community. Twice-daily Internet chats in a chat room help ease the isolation
of dementia and educates participants about living with their diseases.
The stigma of dementia is very real, very cruel and widespread. There is
also a lack of knowledge about dementias, the impact of new medications, and
the support available. By sharing their hopes and concerns, and participating
in dementia-related activities, DASNI empowers people with dementia to actively
participate in their own care and treatment. We support a more accepting, more
hopeful view of living with dementia. We encourage people to improve the quality
of their own life by advocating for others.
.
DASNI members have made presentations at Alzheimer’s Disease International
conferences in Christchurch, New Zealand (2001), Barcelona, Spain (2002) and
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (2003), Kyoto, Japan (2004), Istanbul Turkey
(2005) and Berlin, Germany (2006). Similar local and national presentations
have been made throughout Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, the Middle
East, the United Kingdom, the United States and Brazil.
DASNI members have published books, given TV and radio interviews and written
many articles on the subject of diagnosis and living with dementia. Please
our website for further information.
For local referrals to support groups and health care providers,
and for more detailed information about the diseases that cause dementia,
please contact your local Alzheimer’s Association.
