Threads of Minds is a youth-driven initiative from London, Ontario dedicated to sharing life-saving Alzheimer’s education, preventative strategies, and meaningful apparel that sparks conversations.
Take ActionThere are nearly one million Canadians who live with dementia today. Alzheimer’s is the most common type, gradually affecting thinking, behaviour, and memory—often to the point where daily tasks become impossible without support.
While there is currently no cure, researchers point to a combination of genetics, environment, and lifestyle. The good news is that informed choices can reduce risk and slow progression. Explore our resource library to learn the warning signs, treatment options, and how to advocate for loved ones.
More InfoStart with awareness, follow with daily prevention, and keep the conversation going in your community.
Recognize early warning signs like unusual memory loss, confusion with time and place, and difficulty speaking. Timely screening can lead to earlier access to care.
Early SignsNutritious meals, quality sleep, stress management, and mental stimulation all contribute to a healthier brain. Small habits now can preserve memories later.
Prevention TipsShare facts, wear purple, and support caregivers. Together we can build compassionate communities that champion Alzheimer’s research and resources.
