When Someone Living with Dementia Goes Missing: Case Scenarios for Person-Centered Risk Management

When a person living with dementia goes missing, every situation is different. What can real Canadian cases teach us about how these incidents unfold, and how families can plan ahead? 

Researchers Dr. Antonio Miguel Cruz and Dr. Christine Daum will share findings from missing-person cases across Canada and explore selected stories developed through the research.

Hosted by Stefanie Tan, MD, MPH, Vice-President, Research at MedicAlert Foundation Canada, the discussion explores how these situations can begin and unfold, how families can start important conversations, and how planning can support safety while respecting the person’s independence, routines and meaningful activities.Dr. Lili Liu joins the researchers for a question-and-answer period at the end of the webinar.
