Sažetak
Alzheimer Croatia (AC) since its beginnings from 1999 is helping people with dementia (PWD), their families and careers. We are fighting stigma, and bringing education to target and general population. In our Counseling centre we have weekly meetings for families of PWD and ali other interested. The AC has published four booklets, various leaflets, ali in large number and we distributed them for free in public places. Tili know our members have for numerous times spoken to media (TV, radio, newspapers) and we have organized various lectures, participate on many Meetings, Conferences and Congresses dealing with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia - ali in the aim to raise awareness on dementia, and to present our work for PWD and their caregivers. In year 2012 we have organized the 6th Croatian Congress on AD with international participation in Primošten and this was one of the biggest meeting on AD in Croatia. For last eight years we celebrate the VVorld Alzheimer's day (September 21st), on the most popular squares in center of Zagreb. Our web-site (www.alzheimer.hr) is rebuilt, and on our 24-hours help-line (+385 91 569 16 60) we are receiving calls every day coming from whole Croatia. We are regularly replying to numerous letters coming through e-mail (alzheimer@xnet.hr).
