Canadian research into missing-person cases offers important lessons about conversations, planning and supporting safety while respecting independence.
MedicAlert Canada’s data, alongside other Canadian data sources are helping build a national picture of what happens when someone living with dementia goes missing. That evidence is shaping smarter systems, better-informed responders, and safer outcomes for families across the country.
This webinar is tailored for people living with dementia, care partners, family and friends. A related webinar tailored for health care professionals will take place from 12:00-1:00 the same day.
